Description
This is an appeal by a railroad company from a judgment for damages in a personal injury action instituted by a plaintiff who claims to have been injured at the 16th Street crossing of defendants railroad yard in the City of Charlotte, North Carolina, by cars which he claims were negligently backed without signal or warning. The railroad denies the negligence alleged and contends that plaintiffs injuries resulted from his having crawled, while drunk, under cars standing above the crossing which were moved without reason on the part of its employees to apprehend that plaintiff was in a position of peril. Plaintiff sustained serious injuries, his left leg being cut off between knee and ankle and the heel of his right foot being severed.
