Description
1 In this case, plaintiff alleged that defendant is the duly appointed, qualified and acting administrator of the estate of Sylvia Wright, deceased; that on or about the 10th day of September, 1950, plaintiff was riding as a guest passenger in a 1953 Chevrolet pickup driven by Sylvia Wright, and was traveling east upon State Highway 15, approximately 4 miles north, and 9 miles west of Pawnee, Oklahoma, and that said driver carelessly and negligently drove the automobile across a concrete culvert and overturned it in a bar ditch, inflicting serious, permanent and painful body injuries upon plaintiff, for which he sought damages in the sum of $80,000, and costs of the action. The answer of the defendant was a general denial and, for further defense, stated in substance that the plaintiff, and not Sylvia Wright was driving, and if not, that at the time of the accident he attempted to obtain control of the vehicle by wresting its steering wheel from Sylvia Wrights possession, if she did at said time have control of it; that said act constituted the proximate cause, and if not, the contributing cause, of the accident.
