Court reverses $55,000 award in car train death
The Sixth Circuit reversed a $55,000 damages award to Leland Newport's widow, finding her husband’s death in a Jan 14, 1970 car train crash was caused by his own negligence. The court said Kentucky law requires motorists to stop and look at signals, and the railroad’s wood crossbuck sign was insufficient. Newport’s widow argued the railroad should have posted more warning signs.
