Description

In this action for personal injuries to Bobby Leon Skiles, a pedestrian struck by an auto driven by defendant Robert E. Schlake,
a jury returned a verdict in favor of the plaintiff for $75,000. The trial court subsequently sustained the defendant's motion
for a new trial on the specific grounds of error in one of the plaintiff's verdict-directing instructions. The plaintiff has
appealed from the order for a new trial. The accident occurred on August 30, 1963, at around 9:30 P.M., Daylight Saving Time, on Route 21 in Old Mines. The weather
was clear, the pavement dry. The defendant was driving a 1960 Chevrolet station wagon north on Route 21, with his wife and
children as passengers. In the area involved, Route 21 is a 21' bituminous paved roadway with shoulders on either side, some
5 to 6 feet in width. As one proceeds north, near the southern edge of Old Mines, indicated by a sign proclaiming a 35 miles
per hour speed limit, Route 21 curves slightly to the left. The highway is then comparatively straight and level until it
again curves, to the right, some 750 feet to the north of the point of the first curve. On the northbound driver's right in
this area, some 400 feet from the south curve, is a grocery store and filling station. Beyond the store is a tavern. On the
driver's left is a drive-in theater. The southernmost entrance to the theater is 440 feet from the point of the south curve.
A second entrance is 150 feet to the north of the first, or some 590 feet north of the curve.
