Description
On June 11, 1943 plaintiff, his wife, and three small children boarded a streetcar of defendant corporation travelling north on 28th Street in Sacramento. The car was operated by one man, defendant Colwell. When the car approached P Street, plaintiff signalled the motorman to stop. At the corner of 28th and P Streets, adjacent to the track on 28th Street, there was a safety zone approximately 4 feet wide and 44 feet long outlined on the pavement by broad white stripes and marked at the corners with white buttons. Plaintiff and his family alighted from the front door of the car to the safety zone. After the stop, the car turned to the west around a curve to P Street. As the car turned, the rear end overlapped the safety zone about two feet. The motorman was aware of the overlap but did not warn plaintiff that the car was going to turn west on P Street or call plaintiffs attention to the danger from the overlap. Plaintiff knew that there were curved tracks at that corner and that the car might therefore turn, but he did not "know definitely that it would turn." He testified that had he known the car was going to turn west on P Street, he would have remained on the car
