Description
This case involves an intersection collision between two vehicles, one operated by appellant, Vester Mikell, and the other by appellee. The collision occurred about 10:30 p.m. on September 29, 1958 in Brazoria County. Appellee was traveling east on Styrene Road, which is a service road to the Dow Plant, and appellant Mikell was traveling south on State Highway 288, which is a four lane highway between Angleton and Freeport, Texas. Styrene Road deadends at Highway 288, and the intersection is controlled by traffic lights. The light remains green for traffic going south on Highway 288 until a vehicle on Styrene Road hits a trip plate and shortly thereafter receives the green light. Appellee alleges that he had a green light at the time of the accident while appellant Mikell testified that he had the green light.
