We are of opinion in this case that on the evidence the plaintiff was not in the exercise of due care when he was struck by the electric car of the defendants. Before going from the pathway to the bridge he could see the car standing there, and if he had looked he could not have failed to see the motorman getting ready to start. He did not look but proceeded on his way, having about eight yards to go. He knew that the car took up all the room between the sides of the bridge, and that if it started and overtook him he could do nothing to
Judgment for the defendants.
