Description

July 30, 1951. This is an appeal from judgment for $10,000.00, actual damages and $10,000.00 punitive damages for wrongful death. Sections 411, 412, Code of 1942. The deceased, who was respondent's wife and the mother of three adult children, was leaving her home on the east side of Meeting Street Road, near the City of Charleston, to join friends who had parked their automobile about opposite her gate and across the road, when she was struck and killed by appellant's passenger bus. She waved to them as she left her porch. They (two ladies) testified for appellant but they admitted that their view of the accident was obstructed by the bus with which the deceased collided. They did not see or hear it or any warning until it was close upon them and they did see the deceased look for approaching vehicles. The road was straight for long distances in both directions and there were no obstructions of consequence to the vision of travelers. It was a clear afternoon, about 3 o'clock. The police testified for respondent that children just dismissed from a neighboring school were on the road immediately afterward, which was contradicted by defense witnesses, or at least the latter said the children were not there before or at the time of the accident.
