Description

The opinion of the court was delivered by This is an action to recover damages for injuries suffered in an automobile-pedestrian accident. The sole issue raised on appeal is whether the trial court erred by refusing to instruct the jury on the theory of last clear chance. On January 6, 1972, plaintiff Grace A. Simms was walking in a northerly direction on the sidewalk abutting the west side of Adams Street in Hutchinson, Kansas. At the same time defendant Charles B. Webb was driving his 1951 Plymouth automobile southbound on Adams Street approaching the Fifth Street intersection. Adams Street runs in a north-south direction and is intersected by Fifth Street which runs from east to west. As plaintiff arrived at the Fifth Street intersection she stopped at the curb in obedience to a red traffic signal. When the light turned green she proceeded to walk north across Fifth Street. In the meantime defendant was making a right turn from Adams Street onto Fifth Street. Before plaintiff reached the other side of Fifth Street she was struck on the right side by defendant's vehicle.
