OLESEN V. HENNINGSEN
77 N.W.2d 40 (1956)
NATURE OF THE CASE: This was a personal injury action for an auto collision.
FACTS: P's car struck another car that had been parked on a public highway. The issue at
trial was whether the parked car had to display a lighted red tail lamp. Relating to that
issue, the trial court admitted a telephone ticket with the time of call stamped on it. The
call was placed when P was brought home from the accident and the time was 5:45 pm. This was
used by D to claim that the accident was prior to one half-hour after sunset and impeached
the testimony of P's father and mother as to P being home by 6:05 pm. A Mrs. Harry Fink gave
the testimony as the operator of the phone company but admitted that she could not tell what
operator had actually handled the call. P lost the verdict and appealed.
