Opinion

Per Curiam.

The only evidence was that offered by plaintiff; and this evidence, when considered in the light most favorable to plaintiff, [210]*210was sufficient to support the jury’s finding that plaintiff’s damage was proximately caused by the negligence of defendants as alleged in the complaint. Moreover, it does not appear therefrom that Freeman, plaintiff’s employee-driver, was guilty of contributory negligence as a matter of law.

No error.
