This appeal is by the defendant from a judgment in the plaintiff's favor for the sum of one thousand dollars damages for the destruction of an automobile truck through a collision with an interurban car.
This case is as to the facts of said collision identical with the case of Noce v. United Railroads, 53 Cal.App. 512
[200 P. 819], except that said cause was tried before a jury, while the present action was tried by the court without a jury. The former case was reversed for an erroneous instruction to the jury, but as to the question of the negligence of the defendant and the absence of contributory negligence as a matter of law the decision in that case was in favor of the plaintiffs. The reasoning and conclusions of this court as to these questions are applicable to the case *Page 795 
at bar, and a petition for rehearing in that case having been denied by the supreme court, we deem it conclusive of the instant case. For the reasons therein stated the judgment herein is affirmed.
A petition to have the cause heard in the supreme court, after judgment in the district court of appeal, was denied by the supreme court on December 1, 1922.
All the Justices present concurred.
