Description
Farmers Insurance Exchange instituted this suit for declaratory judgment against Hardware Dealers Mutual Fire Insurance Company seeking a determination of the extent, if any, automobile liability insurance coverage is afforded Anita Hyde by a family auto policy issued by Farmers to Anitas father, or by an auto garage policy issued by Hardware to Frizzell Pontiac, the owner of the car Anita Hyde was driving at the time of an accident. The suit also asked for a declaration concerning the insurers duty to defend a pending action against Anita Hyde by reason of the accident. Both Farmers and Hardwares policies had clauses which restricted liability or coverage in the event of other insurance. The courts below have held that Hardware owed the primary coverage up to the limits of its policy as well as the duty to defend Anita Hyde. 437 S.W.2d 390. We reverse the judgments of the courts below and render judgment that the two insurers must apportion liability, and each has the duty to defend.
