Defendants liable: judge accepted plaintiff experts and facts showing the vehicle was overloaded and had braking efficiency below statutory requirement, that the driver drove at an unsafe speed/failed to allow sufficient distance to turn, and that the U-bolt/axle damage was consequent on impact rather than a latent cause; defence of latent defect was abandoned and does not excuse owner/driver liability.
