[¶1] In this negligence case, the defendant urges we accept the sudden, unforeseeable loss of physical capacity or consciousness as a defense to negligence claims arising out of automobile accidents, and urges we conclude the trial court clearly erred in not finding the occurrence of such an event. Because the findings of fact are not clearly erroneous, we do not reach the question of law. We affirm under N.D.R.App.P. 35.1(a)(2).[¶2]Gerald W. VandeWalle, C.J. Dale V. Sandstrom Herbert L.
