Description
July 7, 1954. Appellant drove his passenger automobile into and under the rear end of respondent's truck and was seriously injured, receiving several fractures which necessitated extended hospitalization and left him permanently partially disabled. The action was for damages for appellant's personal injuries and for damage to his automobile. At the conclusion of the evidence respondent moved for direction of the verdict, as follows: ""If Your Honor pleases, we would like to move for a directed verdict on the ground that the only reasonable inference which can be drawn from all of the testimony in the case is that the injuries and damage sustained by the plaintiff were proximately caused by his own negligence or gross negligence in the operation of his automobile, without which the accident would not have occurred."" The ruling of the court was: ""Gentlemen, I have really considered it very closely, and it is a close case, but in view of the fact we do have the non obstante rule I think it serves the interests of both parties in the case to let the case go to the jury.""
