AUTOMOBILES AND MOTOR VEHICLES, § 143.2 — propriety of directed verdict. In action by driver and occupant owner of automobile for injuries resulting from daytime collision when automobile, proceeding at about 35 miles per hour in same direction as tandem truck, in attempting to pass truck on curve within 100 feet of intersection, struck left rear wheels of truck as truck driver turned left to enter obscure road, allegedly without signaling, direction of verdict in favor of truck driver was erroneous where evidence indicated that there was no marker on highway to show intersection and that position of two service stations and their stone driveways were confusing to automobile driver not familiar with surroundings.
