71 So. 997 | Ala. | 1916
The question of decisive importance in this case, as presented by the demurrer to defendant’s third plea, is whether the nine red lights stationed as warning signals— three on each side of defendant’s street railway track with an open space of eight feet occupied by the track between them— were, as a matter of law, a sufficient warning to travelers in vehicles, who saw the lights, that the street way within the two rows of lights was in a condition dangerous or impassable for vehicles.
The other special pleas were not subject to the demurrers assigned. For the error in overruling the demurrer to plea 3, the judgment will be reversed, and one here rendered sustaining the demurrer, and the cause will be remanded.
Reversed, rendered, and remanded.
