Description
Action by Beverly Reddick to recover damages for personal injuries sustained in an accident when a horse ridden by Jean De
Boer, aged sixteen, the interpleaded defendant, collided with the car in which Beverly Reddick was a passenger. The car was
owned and driven by Alfred Reddick, who was insured by the defendant Western Casualty and Surety Company. The horse Jean De
Boer was riding was owned by John Peterson. Peterson was also interpleaded as defendant. Defendants filed a cross complaint
against Peterson and De Boer and the latter filed counterclaims against defendants. The accident occurred on October 11, 1957. On that day Alfred Reddick and his wife Beverly were driving westerly on Highway
12 from Wisconsin Rapids to St. Paul. Approximately 600 feet before they reached the intersection of Highways 12 and 63 their
automobile came over a knoll and Mr. Reddick saw a horse and rider approaching the intersection from the south. At that time
Reddick thought the horse to be about 300 feet from the intersection. Mr. Reddick then placed his right hand on his wife's
leg and kissed her on the side of the face. Reddick did not see the horse again until his wife shouted at which time the horse
and rider were only 30 to 40 feet from the automobile. Reddick attempted to avoid the horse and rider by applying the brakes,
but his efforts failed and the horse and rider collided with the left side of his car. The automobile was brought to a stop
approximately 60 to 70 feet from the place of the collision, and came to rest in a shallow ditch to the right of the highway.
After the collision the Reddicks continued on their trip to St. Paul.
