Syllabus

<p>Railroads — “Stop, look and listen” — Grade crossing.</p> <p>In an action against a railroad company to recover damages for personal injuries, the plaintiff is guilty of contributory negligence where the evidence shows that at the time of the accident plaintiff approached a grade crossing, that although he looked before he came to the track, he afterwards proceeded and was struck either before he reached the track, or as soon as he came to the first rail, that the engine that struck him was going at the rate of five miles per hour, and that the view of the plaintiff was unobstructed for 121 feet, and any glance in the direction of the engine would have prevented the accident.</p>
