The sentences later courts lift from this opinion, ranked by how many decisions quote each — the parts of the opinion doing the work. These counts are smaller than the citation total above because most of the 5 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“"This is a shining example of a case where both drivers were clearly concurrently negligent. Neither of them saw the other car until reaching a point a few feet from the intersection, and then, of course, it was too late for either to do anything to prevent a crash. Had one or the other taken the slightest precautions in approaching the dangerous corner, there would have been no mishap."”
