Description
This case arose as a result of an intersection collision in the city of New Haven between automobiles operated by the named plaintiff, hereinafter referred to as the plaintiff, and the defendant. The plaintiff charged the defendant with various acts of negligence. After a trial in the Superior Court, the jury found the issues for the defendant, and judgment was rendered accordingly. The plaintiff assigned error in the court's failure to charge the jury concerning an inference which the plaintiff felt the jury must draw from the failure of the defendant to produce certain witnesses at the trial. The plaintiff also claims that the court erred in instructing the jury to disregard certain allegations of negligence contained in his complaint. To put these claims in proper perspective a recitation of certain facts is necessary. At the trial, the plaintiff offered evidence which tended to prove that at the intersection where the accident occurred the defendant was required to yield the right of way to vehicles approaching from his left and that, although he should have seen the plaintiff's car approaching, he in fact did not. Evidence was also offered that the plaintiff's vehicle had almost cleared the intersection when the right front end of the defendant's automobile struck the right rear end of the plaintiff's car. The defendant claims to have proved that he stopped his vehicle for a stop sign at the intersection and that he then drove slowly into the intersection where the accident occurred.
