Plaintiff, a nurse, was accompanying an insane person from Mount Vernon to the State hospital at Poughkeepsie. With the patient, another nurse and a policeman, she was seated in an automobile owned by defendants and driven [532]*532by one Levine. Another policeman drove ahead of the automobile on a motorcycle. At the intersection of two streets, and after the motorcyle had passed, there was a collision between the automobile and a motor truck, as the result of which the plaintiff was thrown to the street and her skull fractured. The jury rendered a verdict in her favor, and from the judgment entered thereon the defendants appeal. Judgment affirmed, with costs. No opinion.
