Held that a licensed motor carrier was liable for injuries that occurred when its truck driver crossed the median into oncoming traffic. Affirmed a trial judgment in favor of an injured motorist, with a modification to the amount of damages, in this case where the motor carrier unsuccessfully asserted a defense under Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations.
