The primary plaintiff is Ella Mesecher, who sued for her personal injuries; her husband Richard joined as plaintiff on his claims for loss of consortium and for medical expenses. The primary defendant is Lee Cropp; his partners in the accounting firm of Elmer Fox and Company were joined as defendants because he was on firm business at the time he was involved in the collision. The collision occurred about 4:45 p.m. on December 18, 1968, on U.S. Highway 281 about 14 miles north of Russell, Kansas.
