Holly Denise RODER and Tommy D. Lockard, Appellants, v. Dianne M. FERKOVICH and Roger J. Ferkovich, etc., Appellees.
    No. 98-361.
    District Court of Appeal of Florida, Fifth District.
    Dec. 11, 1998.
    
      Kimberly D. Nolen, of Haas, Ramey & Beik, Tampa, for Appellants.
    David P. Falstad, of Gurney & Handley, P.A., Orlando, for Appellees.
   GRIFFIN, C.J.

The defendants below appeal an order granting a new trial after the jury found no liability on the part of defendants. The trial court did not err in granting the Ferkoviches a new trial. There was no evidence to support a finding that Roder was not negligent in running into the rear of Ferkovich’s vehicle, and there was no evidence which would support a finding that the Ferkoviches had sustained no injuries or damages as a result of the accident. Based on the foregoing, the trial court did not abuse its discretion in ordering a new trial.

AFFIRMED.

DAUKSCH and PETERSON, JJ., concur.
