Opinion

Per Curiam.

The injury to plaintiff occurred in the State of Virginia. The evidence indicates that plaintiff was a guest. Under the law of Virginia a guest cannot recover except for gross negligence.

From a careful reading and re-reading of the record and briefs, we cannot say that the conduct of defendants amounted to gross negligence. Farfour v. Fahad, 214 N. C., 281.

The judgment is

Reversed.
