Description
These two cases were consolidated for trial with other cases and arise out of the same automobile accident. William Keplin, the plaintiff in case No. 282, and his wife Nettie Keplin, the plaintiff in case No. 281, lived on the north side of Highway 23 in the western part of the city of Ripon, Wisconsin. On March 17, 1961, William Keplin with his wife as a passenger backed his car out of his driveway across Highway 23 intending to go east to Ripon. As he reached the highway he looked to the west and saw the defendant Russell E. Troudt approaching some distance away and then proceeded to back across the highway to its south side. There is dispute whether Keplins car came to a stop partly in the south lane of the highway or completely on the south shoulder facing east. So parked, he waited for Troudt to pass him. Troudt, however, seeing Keplin back across his lane of traffic and according to him blocking his lane, braked his car, headed for the right shoulder, eventually went into the ditch and hit a telephone pole. His car then bounced into the air and landed on top of the Keplin car pushing it across the highway where it hit an obstruction. Troudts car slipped off the Keplin car and proceeded down the highway some 56 feet. Mr. and Mrs. Keplin and Troudt were injured in the collision.
