Description
It appears from the record that the appellant, Eidge, while proceeding south on U.S. 1 in the Florida Keys, came over a bridge or viaduct with a rise or "hump" in the middle thereof, and was caused to bring his automobile to a stop because the Southern Bell Telephone & Telegraph Company was installing telephone cable in the area. Its equipment completely blocked the southbound lane of traffic and was on the southern half of the bridge. After Eidge had come to a complete stop, he was struck in the rear by an automobile operated by the Mansells driver, which automobile was travelling in the same direction as Eidge within the speed limit, with the vehicle under control. Mansells driver testified that because of the rise of "hump" in the bridge, he was unable to see the obstruction caused by Southern Bell or the Eidge car in time to prevent the collision, although he did apply his brakes. Southern Bell had certain warning signs on the northern approach to the bridge on the right-hand shoulder which indicated "men working". There was also other equipment of Southern Bell to the right of the bridge in the immediate vicinity of the "men working" signs, and the driver of the Mansell car testified that he observed a Southern Bell lineman on a pole adjacent to the bridge on the right. There was one flagman, employed by Southern Bell, at the scene who had stopped Eidges car and who, at the moment of impact, was in the process of controlling traffic in the northbound lane, which was the only means of passing the obstruction caused by Southern Bell. Upon Eidge being struck in the rear by the Mansell car, he was driven into the northbound lane and struck by a second automobile which was travelling in the northbound direction, and Eidges next recollection was some five days later when he awakened in the hospital.
