Description
Dallas Bennett came upon two vehicles which had been involved in a property damage accident at U.S. 33 and Cedar Road in St. Joseph County. It was about 9:00 Oclock at night and drizzling rain. He stopped to see if anyone was injured an to render whatever assistance appeared necessary. One of the vehicles involved in the accident, a paneled truck driven by John Dreibelbis, was partially blocking the eastbound traffic lane on U.S. 33 while the second vehicle, a passenger car driven by Ted Titus, completely blocked the westbound traffic lane. Hohn Dreibelbis, the driver of the paneled truck, left the scene to call the police without placing any warning flares on the road as required by IC 1971, 9-8-6-42 (Burns Code Ed.). There was enough room on U.S. 33 for one lane of traffic to pass between the two damaged vehicles. Bennett placed one flare in front of Dreibelbiss truck an a second flare approximately twenty feet west of the truck in the middle of the highway before he began directing traffic alternately from the east and west between the two damaged vehicles. An eastbound vehicle ran over and extinguished the flare west of he truck. When Bennett bent over to rekindle the extinguished flare, he was struck from the rear by a vehicle that had swerved to avoid Dreibelbiss truck.[Footnote 1]
