Description
Richard C. Williams, the plaintiff, was involved in a motor vehicle accident on July 14, 1964, in which he suffered personal
injuries and property damage for which he sought recovery in this action. Williams, in his complaint, alleged independent
negligence on the part of each of the defendants, i. e., George and Blanche Johnston (respondents herein), Liquefied Vangas,
Inc., and Zamzow's, Inc. (appellants herein). The accident occurred when Williams was driving along a highway near Kuna, Idaho. As Williams' vehicle and the Johnston vehicle
were passing each other, a weed-burning trailer-rig, being towed by the Johnston vehicle, broke loose from the trailer hitch
and struck the Williams vehicle. In his complaint, Williams alleged negligence on the part of the Johnstons for failing to
properly attach the weed-burning trailer-rig to their vehicle, failing to stop and make necessary repairs when the trailer
hitch became loosened and for failing to maintain proper safety precautions while using the public road. Williams charged
appellants Zamzow's and Liquefied Vangas, Inc., independently with negligence in renting out the weed-burning equipment which
was not adequately equipped to remain hitched to Johnstons' vehicle, and in failing to give adequate instructions to the Johnstons
as to its operation and attachments to towing vehicles. Zamzow's, Inc., had rented the trailer, which was owned by Liquefied
Vangas, Inc., to the Johnstons.
