Syllabus

<p>Negligence — Automobiles—Collision—Case for jury.</p> <p>In an action to recover damages for personal injuries incurred by reason of a collision between two automobiles, a verdict and judgment for plaintiff will be sustained where the evidence for plaintiff, although contradicted, tended to show that as plaintiffs’ car was proceeding along the right side of a road, defendant’s car overtook it, and passed on the left, that as it did so its rear right wheel struck the left front wheel of plaintiffs’ car, which suddenly turned to the right and upset, and that passengers in plaintiffs’ ear felt a slight grinding noise and a sudden impact as defendant’s ear was turning to the right in front of their ear, just before the driver lost control.</p>
