This is a guest passenger case. The alleged gross negligence or wilful and wanton misconduct of defendant consisted in driving, in the afternoon of a summer day, at 40 miles per hour in a driving rain and high wind and poor visibility and, while trying to pass a truck upon a three-lane highway, contact with an oncoming automobile *Page 443 
caused defendant's car to swing around on the wet pavement into the path of another car and in the collision plaintiff was seriously injured. The court directed a verdict for defendant and this appeal is by plaintiff. This did not constitute gross negligence or wilful and wanton misconduct.
Affirmed.
