Description
DOYLE, Justice. The plaintiff, Mabel Behrns, was riding with her sister, defendant LaVerna Beard Burke, on a trip from Lead, South Dakota,
to Yankton, South Dakota. The parties intended to leave I-90 at U.S. 81 and drive directly south to Yankton. Defendant mistakenly
took an exit several miles west of the U.S. 81 exit. This road intersects with U.S. 16, which is protected at the intersection
by stop signs. Defendant drove her car into the intersection without obeying the posted stop signs and collided with another
vehicle traveling on U.S. 16. As a result plaintiff incurred hospitalization expenses of approximately $16,000 in Mitchell
and Lead. She was hospitalized for approximately twenty-two months and was considered by one of the doctors who testified
to have a permanent thirty percent disability.
