Syllabus

<p>Negligence — Street railways — Automobile—Collision — Crossing —Case for jury.</p> <p>1. It is the duty of a driver of a vehicle, on nearing a street crossing, to look for an approaching street car immediately before entering on the track.</p> <p>2. The rule does not require him, absolutely regardless of conditions, after having performed his duty before entering on the first track and found the way apparently clear, to again look before entering on the second track. Whether he performs his duty under the circumstances, is for the jury.</p> <p>3. A driver of a vehicle may assume that a motorman will not approach a crossing at an excessive speed.</p>
