Description
CLAY, Commissioner. While walking on the sidewalk near his home one morning in Frankfort, appellant was struck by an automobile which appellee owned. In the former's suit for damages, a verdict was directed for the latter. The propriety of such action by the trial Court is the only question we deem it necessary to consider on this appeal. Appellant lived on Marshall Court, a one block street with a steep grade. Some 150 feet above his home, on the opposite side of the street, appellee parked his automobile, headed downhill, about one-half hour prior to the accident. Appellant, with his back in that direction, suddenly heard the movement of the car. Before he was able to get out of its way, it rolled up on the sidewalk, struck him, and continued its runaway course down the hill. No one was in it at the time. Only one witness saw the vehicle leave the curb where it was parked. She stated: 'It left the sidewalk just like somebody was driving it,' although she was unable to see whether or not there was a person in the driver's seat.
