That defendant, driving a truck which was run into by plaintiff’s motorcycle at a street intersection, had the right of way and was exercising due care, is established where there was evidence that he entered the street intersection first and made a lawful turn when he was hit from behind and the ordinance gave vehicles to the right the right of way and required plaintiff to look out for the truck, and there was little evidence that defendant was driving other than in a careful manner.</p> <p>Appeal (417)—Review—Findings—Preponderance of Evidence. While the findings of the trial court upon conflicting evidence are ordinarily adopted, they will be reversed on appeal if not supported by the preponderance of the evidence.</p>
