Description
On the morning of November 24, 1937, Tarver McIntosh, in company with Mrs. A. S. McQueen, his guest, was traveling north and going in the direction of Memphis, Tennessee, on a highway in Mississippi known as Grenada and Tallatoba Division of Highway 51. McIntosh was driving his 1936 model Chevrolet car, and about 7:30 oclock in the morning he reached a point on the highway about eight miles north of Grenada, where the Trinidad Asphalt Manufacturing Company was constructing nine miles of paved road. At this point a detour gave to the right and a barricade was set up on the highway beyond the detour and resting partially across the highway. McIntosh came upon the barricade suddenly after driving over the crest of a hill. He sought to avoid striking this barricade by driving around it to the left. When he applied his brakes and attempted to go around the detour sign, his car left the paved portion of the highway and overturned. Both McIntosh and Mrs. McQueen were sorely injured.
