Description
The jury returned a verdict against plaintiff, a police officer, upon his $50,000 claim for personal injuries. Plaintiff was
operating a three-wheeled motorcycle, called a tri-car, at the time of its collision with defendant's automobile. Plaintiff
was leaving his former traffic control post and arrived at the "Y" intersection of Channing Avenue (a north-south street),
Olive Street and Lindell Boulevard in St. Louis, Missouri. He was to proceed to his next post at the intersection of Kingshighway
and Lindell, his route being westerly on the latter street. Lindell is, between Grand and Theresa avenues where the collision
occurred, 66 feet wide and has three eastbound and three westbound lanes for travel, with additional parking lanes on each
side. President Johnson was visiting in St. Louis on that Valentine's day, February 14, 1964, and incident to that visit intensive
security precautions were taken by the police department. Plaintiff's first assignment of duty was to direct traffic along
the President's route at 18th and Market streets, and ten minutes after the President passed that point plaintiff's orders
required him to go to Kingshighway and Lindell to help direct traffic.
