In an action for wrongful death, where one car, which plaintiff administrator's deceased was driving, ran into defendant's car stopped on the highway, and there was a verdict and judgment for defendant, the questions whether the defendant had the taillight on his car burning at the time of the accident, and whether the snow on the shoulders of the highway was deep enough to make it impracticable for defendant to drive on to the shoulder of the road, were ones of fact for the jury to decide (Ill. Rev. Stat. 1941, ch. 95 1/2, par. 185; Jones Ill. Stats. Ann. 85.217).
