AMERICAN NEGLIGENCE REPORTS. CHICAGO CITY R. CO. v. SCHMIDT. STREET RAILWAY COLLISION OF CARS-PASSENGER ON REAR BUMPER STRUCK BY FOLLOWING CAR. Where it appeared that a passenger on a crowded street car stood on the rear platform with other passengers, and that when the car stopped at a crossing he stood on the center of the bumper to let the passengers have room to alight, and while in that position a following car, that could not be stopped because of the slippery rails in time to avoid a collision, struck the car upon which plaintiff was standing and seriously injured his foot, the questions of negligence were properly submitted to the jury and a judgment for plaintiff was affirmed.
