the south side of the highway. Trooper Fudala talked to McCombs and testified McCombs said he was driving forty miles an hour just before the accident. This officer found a deep cut or skid mark on the highway, beginning in the west bound lane about fifteen feet east of the point of collision, about five feet long, then cutting sharply across the road in a southerly direction, extending into the east bound lane about one and one half feet. Fudala said the mark was compatible if the driver in the west bound lane had been forced to apply the brakes. The ambulance driver, and others testified they were driving on the road and each were driving at different speeds, ranging from 20-25 to 30-35. One witness Harriet Robertsonmet the truck as she was driving west on Highway No. 61 and while she said she thought the truck was going faster than it should for the road conditions, she did not estimate the speed, and said that when she met it it was in its proper lane and was not swaying or swerving.
Mrs. Violet Phillips and Mrs. Eva McMann were the first to arrive at the accident scene. Mrs. Phillips was driving 30-35 miles per hour. Mrs. McMann got out and Mrs. Phillips drove to Big Neck to report the accident, then drove back.
Inez Quisenberry met the Boyles car east of Big Neck and estimated its speed at that time at 20-25 miles per hour. She testified the roads were very slick and visibility dusky.
