Description
This is a suit for personal injuries alleged to have been suffered as the result of a collision of plaintiff's automobile
with one operated by the defendant at a highway intersection in St. Louis County. A jury found for plaintiff and assessed
his damages at $45,000. Defendant filed a motion for judgment in accordance with her motion for a directed verdict or, in
the alternative, for a new trial. The trial court overruled the motion for judgment and ordered a remittitur of $22,500. Plaintiff
remitted and defendant's motion for a new trial was also overruled. Defendant has appealed from the resulting judgment for
$22,500. The sole issue of negligence submitted to the jury was the violation of a provision of the right of way statute, §
304.021(4), Mo. Cum. Supp. 1957 (see Laws 1953, p. 593, P19), which reads as follows: "4. The driver of any vehicle shall
stop as required by this section at the entrance to a through highway and shall yield the right of way to other vehicles which
have entered the intersection on the through highway or which are approaching so closely on the through highway as to constitute
an immediate hazard. The state highway commission may erect stop signs at the entrance of any public road into a through highway."
