Description
RUGG, C. J. This is an action of tort to recover damages for the death of a boy, six and one-half years of age, alleged to have resulted from the negligence of the defendants. There was evidence tending to show that the deceased child and his sister, about eight and one-half years old, at about half past seven on an April morning left their home on the north side of Mystic avenue in Malden and walked along a dirt and gravel sidewalk on that street about one hundred feet when they came to a driveway leading across the sidewalk into the defendants' place of business; that the sister was on the outside of the sidewalk and the deceased on her right-hand side; that the sister saw the defendants' truck on Mystic avenue about one hundred feet away traveling in the opposite direction; that she next noticed it turn into the driveway, let go her brother's hand and stepped back to save herself; that if she had tried to save him they both would have been killed; that she was a step beyond the stone roughly marking the edge of the driveway, and her brother was to her right on the sidewalk and did not see the truck; that the middle of the front of the radiator of the truck of the defendants hit her brother; that the right front wheel of the truck went over his body; that the owner of the truck and his son, the driver, were both riding to their work; that neither of them saw the children on the sidewalk and that the first they knew of the accident was when the boy was run over and his sister screamed.
