Syllabus

<p>Negligence — Collision between wagon and bicycle.</p> <p>In an action to recover damages for personal injuries, plaintiff testified that he was riding a bicycle in a westwardly direction on the north side of the street; that as he approached a crossing, defendant’s driver, going at a reckless speed, was apparently turning his wagon from the cross street to go southwardly into the street upon which plaintiff was riding; that plaintiff turned out towards the east to give way to the wagon, when the driver suddenly changed his direction and ran into and injured plaintiff. On cross-examination, however, plaintiff testified that another bicycler who was coming south, on seeing the wagon, turned into the center of the street; that his wheel touched the back of plaintiff's wheel and that both of them fell together, and the horse went over them. Held, that a non-suit- was properly entered.</p>
