Duty to Lookout.

Driver of car being pushed on highway by pickup truck to start the motor was under a duty to keep a reasonable and prudent lookout ahead for other vehicles, persons, or property which might be on or alongside the highway so as to constitute an immediate hazard. Easley v. Inglis, 233 Ark. 589, 346 S.W.2d 206 (1961).
