Texas Supreme Court upholds a $30,000 plus damage award from a crash eight miles east of Amarillo on the Fort Worth Highway June 18, 1946. The suit, Rosa Welborn versus C B Erwin, stems from Roy Welborn’s death and injuries to four children after a grain truck collided with a car driven by Roy Welborn. The trial court decision was affirmed by the Seventh Court of Civil Appeals and the Supreme Court refused Erwin's writ of error.
