Defendants Win Damage Suit Over 1946 Collision
A Raleigh County circuit court jury returned a verdict for defendants in a $15,000 damage suit filed by Cloyd Pell of Paint Creek against F. M. Whiting of Piney View and Mr. and Mrs. Frank Stewart of Montgomery. Pell claimed knee injuries from a 1946 collision on Rt. 61 near Montgomery caused by Whiting’s reckless driving and smoke from Stewart property. Defendants argued Pell drove recklessly and the accident occurred beyond the smoke.
