The plaintiff, a 10-year-old boy, was struck by a vehicle while crossing a busy road at a school crosswalk.
The crossing guard employed by the defendant municipality had left her post early.
The driver of the vehicle was found to be speeding in poor weather conditions.
The court found both the driver and the municipality liable, apportioning fault equally at 50% each.
The court dismissed the defendants' claim of contributory negligence against the child.
