Failing to Yield Has Its Consequences

C.D. broke her neck while trying to enter the highway known as "Blood Alley". C.D. made a left turn onto the highway from her neighborhood. The defendant allegedly came down "Blood Alley" at such a high rate of speed that she struck C.D.'s vehicle, thereby destroying both cars. C.D.'s neck was broken and required surgery to repair.

KWMWB alleged that the roadway was clear for her to turn and that the defendant was speeding. C.D. was familiar with the area as she lived there for years. The defendant alleged that C.D. failed to yield the right of way.

The case was settled for the defendant's policy limits without the necessity of trial.
