Description
On November 14, 1961, appellant, Raymond E. Warren, was foreman of a six-man crew employed by the Hood Construction Company which was engaged in installing a gas line service to a farm house located approximately 1 3/4 miles east of Meridian, Idaho, on State Highway 69. Appellant and his crew arrived at the job site at approximately 9:00 o'clock a. m. and appellant parked his pickup truck in a driveway leading into the farm on the west side of said highway 69, which extends in a north and south direction. The other vehicles and equipment brought by appellant's crew were parked on the east side of said highway. The farm house to which the gas line installation was being made was situated about 80 or 90 feet westerly from where said vehicles had been parked. Members of appellant's crew had attached a 1-inch water hose, which was approximately 200 feet in length, to a faucet on the farm house and had laid the hose upon the ground across said highway and into a field on the east side thereof where it was attached to a bore motor weighing approximately 50 pounds. The bore motor was to be used to drill a hole underneath the highway so that the extension gas pipe could be connected from the gas main to the farm house. There was evidence that at the time of the accident water was in the hose and that it lay across the roadway at an angle of approximately 10 degrees from right angle to the road. Between the time the hose was first laid across the roadway and the time of the accident (approximately 9:30 a. m.) several vehicles had passed over the hose without incident.
