U.S. Court of Appeals Case No: 14-2159
U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Missouri - St. Louis
[PUBLISHED] [Murphy, Author, with Colloton and Kelly, Circuit Judges]
Civil case - Federal Tort Claims Act. The district court did not err in
entering judgment for the United States in this vehicular collision case
based on its conclusion that the driver of the car in which plaintiff was
riding had abruptly swerved and stopped in front of the Postal Services'
mail truck, thereby depriving the truck's driver of the time and distance
needed to avoid the collision.
