Description
Defendants, The Pillsbury Company and Mack Pargin, its employee truck driver, have appealed from two judgments entered in the circuit court of Moultrie County and affirmed by the appellate court. Judgment was entered on jury verdict against both defendants for $30,000 in a wrongful death action and on jury verdict against defendant-counterplaintiff, Pillsbury Company, on a counterclaim for cargo loss in the claimed amount of $6666.19. This action arises out of a vehicular collision in which three trucks were involved. One semi-trailer stock truck driven by plaintiff's intestate, Paul Richard Miller, was traveling in an easterly direction on U.S. Route 36 about three miles west of Atwood, Illinois, at 2:30 A.M. on September 22, 1962. Three tractor semi-trailers owned by the Pillsbury Company were traveling in a westerly direction. The stock truck collided with the second Pillsbury semi-trailer, driven by defendant, Mack Pargin, and with the third Pillsbury semi-trailer, driven by Franklin Gale Bowen. Miller and Bowen were both killed in the accident. A sideswipe occurred between Miller's truck and the second Pillsbury truck as they passed in opposite directions, causing Miller's truck to careen down the road and into the path of the third Pillsbury truck. Miller's administratrix sued for wrongful death and Pillsbury counterclaimed for cargo damaged in the second Pillsbury truck.
