On Motion for Rehearing.
In their motion for rehearing, appellants’ capable counsel properly criticize this statement in our original opinion:
“Whereas there is such negligence in all the several enumerated respects attributable to the appellants, the dominating one of them being the speed at which Kordowitz drove their ear, since the quoted finding of an ‘unavoidable accident’ expressly by its terms exculpated only the appellee and the deceased, Torres —not Kordowitz, all of whose culpable acts were binding on appellants, and whose negligent speed was still held to have proximately and soleiy caused the tragedy.”
It is, however, merely an inaccuracy in expression, as it was not intended to be held that any other negligent acts of Kordowitz than his excessive speed, which the jury found, on sufficient evidence, constituted the sole proximate cause of the accident, were attributable to and binding on appellants, their son having been an invited guest in the car he was driving.
The correction is made with appreciation for the opportunity thus occasioned. ■
The motion for rehearing, after careful consideration, will be overruled.
Overruled.
