Description
This is an appeal from a jury verdict in favor of Carol Jorstad as guardian ad litem for the children of Morris Koph, deceased.
A judgment was obtained against the City of Lewiston on a cause of action arising out of an intersection accident, as a result
of which plaintiff's decedent was killed. In the early morning hours of January 20, 1966, Morris Kopf, driving alone in a 1961 Rambler convertible northbound on Thain
Road as it merged into 21st Street in Lewiston, Idaho, struck a concrete divider separating the two northbound lanes from
the two southbound lanes and turn bays channeling intersecting eastbound traffic from 19th Avenue onto 21st Street. After
striking the divider, Kopf's vehicle crossed over the divider and traveled down the north turn bay and outside southbound
traffic lane, then crossed back across the northbound lanes into a curb on the east side of 21st Street, over an embankment,
through a fence, across a gully, and finally slammed into an embankment, landing on its wheels in a cleared area above the
embankment. The distance from the point of impact to the resting point of the car was 423 feet. Kopf was thrown from the vehicle
and after the accident was found approximately 30 feet north of the car. This intersection was in the process of being reconstructed
and apparently there were warning devices on both sides of it to warn motorists that construction was under way. However,
there is a dispute as to whether the warning devices that were present were adequate. A flashing light that had been previously
placed in the concrete triangle that decedent struck, was not there at the time of the accident. Nor was the movable safety
cone warning device placed in the triangle as it should have been.
