Description
This action was instituted by plaintiff-appellant seeking damages for the death of appellants son who was a passenger in an automobile owned and being operated by defendant-appellee. Appellant alleged that appellee was willful and wanton in that he operated the automobile at a speed of 50 miles per hour, "replaced the cap screws that were originally used to fasten the steering gear to the frame of said 1951 Ford as aforesaid by three bolts and three nuts of smaller diameter and less tensile strength than the original cap screws on said automobile." As a result the bolts sheared in two parts rendering the steering mechanism of the automobile incapable of control causing it to run off the highway and against a tree. The complaint further alleged that the defendant-appellee knew that the steering mechanism was fastened to the frame by bolts which were of insufficient size and tensile strength to adequately control the steering of the automobile which fact was unknown to appellants deceased son.
