Description
LUSK, Justice. This is an action for death by wrongful act, in which the plaintiff recovered a judgment and defendants have appealed. The deceased, Flossie M. Henthorne, while crossing 16th Street in Oregon City, was struck by an automobile driven by the defendant William B. Hopwood and owned by the defendant Burt Hopwood, and died as the result of the accident. The uncontradicted evidence shows that the deceased was crossing the street between intersections, and was struck when she was near the center of 16th Street and at least 40 feet from the nearest crosswalk at the intersection of Harrison and 16th Streets. The automobile had passed through the intersection immediately prior to hitting Mrs. Henthorne. The accident occurred about dusk; it was raining and the lights on the defendants car were burning. The jury could have found that the defendant, William B. Hopwood, was driving at an unreasonable rate of speed and that he was not keeping a proper lookout.
