Description
Action by the plaintiff Bessie Jennings, administratrix of the estate of Raymond Lee Jennings, deceased, to recover for the
wrongful death of her deceased husband arising out of a motor vehicle collision against the defendant Mueller Transportation
Company, Casualty Reciprocal Exchange (insurance carrier for Mueller) and Herbert N. Ranheim (Mueller's driver). The accident occurred approximately at 2 a. m., on June 10, 1953, on highway 51 in Dane county, a mile or so south of its
intersection with highway 12. The defendant Ranheim was driving Mueller's tractor-trailer unit consisting of a trailer pulling
a large, closed van-type trailer, the overall length of the unit being 41 feet. By mistake he turned south at the aforesaid
intersection instead of turning north. Upon discovering his mistake he attempted to turn around by making use of a farm driveway,
which extended to the east of highway 51, by backing into such driveway. He had proceeded with such backing operation to the
point where the trailer was wholly across and practically at right angles to highway 51. The right wheels of the tractor were
then off on the shoulder some little distance to the west of the west edge of the pavement. At this point in the backing operation
the right front wheel of the tractor dropped down over the west edge of the top of a concrete abutment of a cattle pass running
underneath the highway. As a result of such right wheel so dropping off the edge of the abutment, the unit was rendered immovable.
Ranheim put out fusees to the north and south of the stalled unit but the evidence is in conflict as to whether the single
fusee placed to the south had burned out by the time the collision occurred. The point on highway 51 where the tractor-trailer
unit was stalled was on an incline extending from north to south with the crest of the knoll or hill approximately 200 feet
to the south of the unit.
