The driver (2nd defendant) was negligent for failing to adopt safer alternatives or to stop once the vehicle first veered; the deceased passengers bore no contributory negligence; Express (3rd defendant) was neither in possession/occupation of the road or pond nor did it create or materially increase the pond hazard on the balance of probabilities; therefore liability rests against the 2nd defendant alone and damages in the sum awarded are payable by him.
