On the evidence (including the driver's conviction for careless driving and the credible testimony that van lights and street lighting were on), the 1st defendant failed to keep a proper lookout and failed to stop or take avoiding action and is liable for negligence; the 2nd defendant is vicariously liable for that negligence; the plaintiff, a 10‑year‑old who was assisting his father, was not contributorily negligent; damages are assessed accordingly.
