Description
The six-year-old plaintiff brought this action by his father as next friend to recover for personal injuries sustained in crossing the street when he was struck by the defendant's automobile, which, it is alleged, was being negligently operated. The jury rendered a verdict of $2500 for the plaintiff and the defendant has appealed, assigning error in the denial of his motion to set aside the verdict and in the court's allowance of certain questions by the plaintiff upon the voir dire. The jury could have found these facts: Iranistan Avenue is a main thoroughfare in Bridgeport which runs in a general northerly and southerly direction. It is about forty feet wide where intersected from the east by Ridge Avenue. Both streets are tar surfaced, and a crosswalk designated by white lines extends from the southeasterly corner of the intersection to the westerly side of Iranistan Avenue. There is a grocery store on the southeasterly corner. Iranistan Avenue is straight and level and is posted with speed signs for twenty-five miles an hour. Many families with small children live in the vicinity.
