White v. Kluge

In White v. Kluge, 189 Neb. 742, 204 N.W.2d 789 (1973), the court recognized that defendant by her own admission failed to stop at a stop sign, even though she could not see the north-south road to her left because a grove of trees obstructed her view. She testified that the first time she saw the oncoming car, her tractor was in the middle of the intersection and the car was skidding toward her. The court found that the evidence was conclusive that had defendant stopped at the right-of-way line or at a point sufficiently beyond the trees to permit her an unobstructed view of the highway, she could have observed the car as it traveled toward her. The court found defendant guilty of negligence as a matter of law.
