Shared Fault for Collision on Private Road

A plaintiff sought damages for injuries sustained when a borrowed vehicle, which was parked on a private road, was struck by a delivery truck whose driver claimed he did not see the parked vehicle due to poor visibility from a nearby hedge, leading to the trial court partially attributing fault to the plaintiff for improper parking. The appellate court upheld the finding of shared fault, reasoning that while the truck driver was responsible for the collision due to excessive speed for the conditions and failure to maintain a proper lookout, the plaintiff contributed to the accident by parking the vehicle in a manner that significantly obstructed visibility on the private access road, thus constituting a fault contributing to the damage.
