HEFLIN,
Chief Justice (concurring in the result of overruling the applications for rehearing) :
I am not pleased with the special damages proration treatment imposed by the opinion in this case. On the other hand, I am not convinced that the Y¡ proration 'formula used by the trial court is equitable under the facts contained in the record. Perhaps a better solution would be to return the case to the trial court with directions to take full and complete testimony concerning injuries and damages, but since the case was submitted on an agreed statement of facts, I am reluctant to take that position.
I am convinced that this Court does not wish that portion of the opinion concerning special damages proration to be interpreted as establishing a formula or standard to be used in the future. This Court makes it clear that this formula is limited to the facts of the instant case. Therefore, I concur in the result of overruling the applications for rehearing.
