Description
The record discloses that on the evening of September 17, 1939, Reid, who was about nineteen years of age, rented a 1938 Chevrolet coach from defendant. In company with Miss H and two other young people he drove to the top of Lookout Mountain west of Denver, where they stopped for about an hour and a half, had some coffee and sandwiches, and danced. They started to return to Denver over the Mount Vernon Canon road, proceeding without difficulty until the car reached the fourlane extension of West Colfax avenue when Reid began speeding. In the center of this four-lane highway is a ridge which separates the two lines of traffic. Reid was driving close to the center of the thoroughfare and struck the ridge, due apparently to the excessive rate of speed. The car started to swerve, and, the driver losing control, it turned over, causing the injuries to Miss H of which she complains. No question is raised concerning the extent of the injuries, or the amount of damages awarded by the judgment. The issue is solely one of liability of defendant.
