Damages for bus passengers
A collision, which occurred between an omnibus and a Canadian army lorry
at Willy Green corner, between Guildford and Normandy at 9.55am on 1st
April 1941, was the subject of proceedings at Aldershot County Court on
Friday week.
Mrs Louise Marney, aged 41 and Mrs Rose Eastwood, aged 61, formerly of
Littlefield Green, Worplesdon and now at Send, who were passengers in the
bus, claimed £100 as damages for injuries received against L/Cpl
Leonard Pepper, driver of the army lorry, and against the Aldershot and
District Traction Co Ltd for alleged negligence.
Council was briefed on behalf of all parties, and Mr Elliot Gorst for plaintiffs,
Mr Platts Mills for Pepper and Mr G F Norris for the Traction Company.
Mrs Eastwood, in evidence, stated that she earned £6 per week selling
pegs made by herself and her husband. Mrs Marney stated that she sold
brushes and made £3 per week. She had been unable to work since
the accident.
PC Armstrong gave details of an examination of the road after the accident.
In evidence, Pepper said that when thirty feet away, the bus started to
cut the corner. Afterwards the driver of the bus said "I'm sorry
old boy, I could not see for the snow on my windscreen". Francis
Stanley Heely, driver of the bus, denied making this statement. He said
his windscreen wiper was working and gave him vision through a rectangle
of 12". When he saw the lorry he pulled into his own side of the
road and noticed the lorry braking 20 feet away, and that the back part
of the lorry sliding towards its offside.
His Honour Judge A F Topham said he came to the conclusion that the collision
was due to the fact that the visibility of the bus driver was obscured
by snow, except for a little patch on his windscreen. The bus driver was
guilty of negligent driving, and he accordingly held that the Aldershot
and District Traction Company were liable to damages to both plaintiffs.
He assessed Mrs Eastwood's damages at £20. Mrs Marney had suffered
more, and he thought she should have £30. He gave judgment for plaintiffs
in these terms, with costs. The judge also directed that Pepper's costs
should be paid by the Company.
