In summer 2018, a male farmer in his 70s was driving a farm-owned
pickup truck (Pickup #2) southbound on a dry, blacktop chip-sealed
asphalt two-lane road with a speed limit of 55 mph when his vehicle
was hit in an intersection by a westbound pickup truck (Pickup #1).
The east-west road was a similarly constructed two-lane, 55 mph
roadway. The north-south road had the right of way. Stop signs were
positioned at the intersection on east-west roadway; the stop signs
had affixed signage indicating crossroad traffic does not stop. The
east-west road also had advance warning stop signs with the name of
the north-south road affixed below. The westbound pickup truck
(Pickup #1) entered the intersection without stopping and struck the
decedent’s pickup truck (Pickup #2) on the driver’s side. |
