A two hour twenty minute jury deliberation yielded $1,000 in damages to former State Trooper James D. Foy of Terra Alta, West Virginia, from Ralph W. Fouche of Chestnut Grove, Maryland, in a Maryland case arising from a January 12, 1958 collision on Maryland 26 near Chestnut Grove Road. Both drivers were hospitalized. Foy’s partner Trooper Joseph Leebster suffered minor injuries. The suit originally sought $30,000, later pared to $15,000, with medical payments covered by the State Accident Fund. The State was not a party to the action.
The trial argued the accident resulted entirely from Fouche failing to yield to an oncoming State Police car before turning left. Witnesses Mullican and Barnes placed Fouche at a restaurant, claiming he drank two bottles of brew in three hours. Speed Limit Nikirk Rosenstock and Trooper Lechliter testified the Fouche car lacked turning lights and the State Police vehicle traveled at 45 to 50 mph, with Lt. Cole noting 112 feet of skid marks.
