Hannah KRAFF, Appellant, v. Harry Herman GARFIELD, Appellee.
    No. 66-947.
    District Court of Appeal of Florida. Third District.
    July 11, 1967.
    Fuller & Brumer, Kenneth L. Ryskamp, Miami, for appellant.
    Walton, Lantaff, Schroeder, Carson & Wahl and Richard J. Thornton, Rosen, Rothstein & Chonin, Miami, for appel-lee.
    Before PEARSON, BARKDULL and HENDRY, JJ.
   PER CURIAM.

By this appeal, we are called upon to test the sufficiency of an amended complaint filed by the appellant-plaintiff against the appellee-defendant. The amended complaint set forth alleged gross negligence under Fla.Stat. § 320.59, F.S.A., on the part of the defendant while operating a motor vehicle, causing an accident and injuries to the appellant.

We find that the amended complaint states a cause of action. Therefore, we reverse the final order here under review, dismissing the amended complaint with prejudice, upon the authority of Faircloth v. Hill, Fla.1956, 85 So.2d 870; Farrey v. Bettendorf, Fla.1957, 96 So.2d 889; Carraway v. Revell, Fla.1959, 116 So.2d 16.

Reversed and remanded for further proceedings.
