Opinions

Pannell, Presiding Judge.

Susan T. Woods "on or about June 25,1972” received physical injuries as the result of a collision between an automobile driven by her, and an automobile driven by Dorothy Maxine Stoddard. Woods brought an action against Stoddard on June 6, 1975, seeking recovery for medical, surgical, dental, hospital and drug expenses incurred as a result of said injuries, and for lost wages caused therefrom. The defendant moved to dismiss the complaint on the grounds the two-year statute of limitation relating to personal injuries (Code § 3-1004) had run before the filing of the complaint. The trial judge overruled the motion and the defendant Stoddard appealed to this court. Held:

The trial judge erred. The decision in this case is controlled by the decision in Leggett v. Benton Bros. Drayage &c. Co., 138 Ga. App. 761, which overruled Robinson v. Bomar, 122 Ga. App. 564 (177 SE2d 815); and Davis v. Patrick, 128 Ga. App. 677 (197 SE2d 743).

Judgment reversed.

Bell, C. J., Deen, P. J., Quillian, Clark, Stolz, Webb and Marshall, JJ., concur. Evans, J., dissents.
