Jury finds no negligence by either driver
On Sept. 9, neither party was to blame for a highway crash that left one woman with back and neck injuries, a jury found. Shanna Eid was driving a sedan on Highway 360 as Thomas Dutton was driving a tractor-trailer on her left. She was in Dutton’s blind spot when he veered into her lane and they collided, she claimed. Dutton denied leaving his lane. Neither driver saw the other before impact, and there were no independent eyewitnesses. The jury found no negligence by either driver. Although the damages question was conditioned, the jury answered it anyway, finding $10,200 in past medical expenses and $1,000 for pain and suffering. Because the jury did not find liability, Eid recovers nothing.
