Description
DOLAN, Justice. These four actions of tort arise out of a collision of automobiles at a street intersection. The first and
third actions are brought to recover compensation for personal injuries sustained by the respective plaintiffs as a result
of the collision. The second action is brought to recover for property damage to the automobile of the plaintiff administrators'
intestate, John D. Stiles, and for conscious suffering of the intestate resulting from the collision. The fourth action is
brought to recover for the death of the intestate. The cases were referred to an auditor, who found for the plaintiff in the
first three cases and for the defendant in the fourth case. They were then tried to a jury upon the auditor's report and further
evidence. The jury returned verdicts for the plaintiffs in all the cases, the verdict returned in the action for death being
in the sum of $1. The defendant's exceptions to the denial of her motion for a directed verdict in each case and to the denial
of certain requests for instructions bring the cases before us. Material findings of the auditor follow. The accident occurred at about 4:30 P. M. on February 15, 1938, at the intersection
of Bridge Street, a State highway known as route 17, and McKeen Street, in the township of Auburndale, Florida. The weather
was clear, the roads were dry, and visibility was good. Bridge Street runs east toward Winter Haven and west toward Haines
City. McKeen Street runs north and south and intersects Bridge Street. McKeen Street is about eighteen feet wide. Bridge Street
is somewhat wider. Both are tar roads.
