A driver, having failed to observe a traffic signal indicating a stop, collided with a truck at an intersection, causing damages to the truck's cargo, and the lower court found the driver liable based on the direct causal link between the traffic infraction and the damage. The highest court quashed the decision, reasoning that while the driver's failure to stop was a fault, it did not automatically establish liability for the entire damage, as the collision was equally attributable to the truck driver's excessive speed, which constituted a concurrent fault under the principle of shared responsibility.
