PERONAL INJURY TO A TRAVELER ON PUBLIC HIGHWAY AT A CROSSING.

Defendant was operating two lines of railway near to and parallel with each other. Plaintiff was familiar with the crossings, having passed over them many times. He knew the time when the trains passed. At a point fifty feet from the first track he could have seen an approaching train for thirteen hundred feet to the westward, and yet failed to see it. Nothing was shown to have attracted his attention. He drove across the first track, barely escaping collision. His horses became frightened and ran across the second track, struck his wagon and injured him. Held it was all one transaction and he was guilty of contributory negligence which hindered his recovery. Pence v. Chicago, Rock Island & Pacific Railway Company, 63 Iowa, page 746.
