Heading: the lower court erred in declining to admit appellant's photographs of the truck and trailer driven by james rucker.

Text: Rucker testified that the photographs, which were not admitted by the lower court, are of the truck and trailer loaded with rebar steel as they were at the time of leaving Mississippi Steel on the morning of July 28, 1982. Further, he testified, without contradiction, that the pictures were fair and accurate representations of the truck and load with which he left from the Mississippi Steel plant and went to Little Rock, Arkansas. The appellees objected on the ground that the photographs were cumulative, were self-serving, and did not accurately represent the truck on the date of the accident. The photographs should have been admitted. Photographs of the unloaded truck of Rucker and similar trucks were offered by appellee and admitted, although not objected to.
