Syllabus

<p>Negligence — Automobiles—Collision—Car driven by minor son without license.</p> <p>1. In an action to recover damages for death of plaintiff’s husband in a collision between two autotrucks, where it appears that the decedent’s truck was driven at the time by his son, an experienced driver under eighteen years of age without a license, the ease is for the jury on the conflicting evidence as to the cause of the accident; and binding instructions for defendant on the ground that the deceased was guilty of contributory negligence in permitting his son to drive the truck, are properly refused.</p> <p>2. In such case, the minority of the son had no causal relation to the accident.</p>
