15 Jul Adkin v. Grant

             The plaintiff Maureen Adkin claims damages for personal injuries which she sustained as the result of the motor vehicle accident which occurred on September 3, 2010, in Nanaimo. At about 3 o’clock that afternoon, the plaintiff was driving her 1987 Toyota Tercel east on Mostar Road. She was alone in her vehicle. She was travelling on an uphill grade, behind one or more vehicles that were approaching an intersection controlled by traffic lights. The traffic light for eastbound traffic turned yellow, and the plaintiff slowed down, as did the cars ahead of her. The defendant Charles Grant was following behind the plaintiff’s vehicle. He was driving a 2001 Ford pickup truck. The front of the defendant’s truck collided with the back end of the plaintiff’s car. The plaintiff applied her brakes so as not to run into the vehicle ahead of her, and managed to stop in time....
