Syllabus

<p>Negligence — Railroad companies — Stop, looh, listen — Crossings— Contributory negligence — Binding instructions for defendant.</p> <p>Where in an action to recover damages for injuries sustained by a pedestrian in consequence of being struck by a locomotive at a crossing, it appeared that, although plaintiff stopped at the first of the three tracks of the crossing, and thereafter went rapidly across to the third track without looking for an approaching train, when she was struck; that the accident occurred on a clear, sunshiny afternoon, and that plaintiff was thoroughly familiar with the surrounding conditions and had an unobstructed view when she came to the third track, binding instructions should have been given for defendant.</p>
