Description

The opinion of the court was delivered by Frances Summers and her husband Walter E. Summers were injured
in a single accident allegedly caused by a defect in a state
highway. Each commenced an action against the State Highway
Commission to recover damages. The commission's demurrers to
their petitions were overruled and it has appealed. As the
question for decision is common to both appeals, they have been
consolidated, but in reviewing the allegations reference will be
made only to the petition of Frances Summers. In a preliminary way it may be stated that there is no
controversy but that the plaintiffs' only rights to recover are
under G.S. 1949, 68-419, which provides that:

"Any person who shall without contributing
negligence on his part sustain damage by reason of
any . . . defect in a state highway . . . may recover
such damages from the state of Kansas . . ."
