ON DENIAL OF PETITION FOR REHEARING
McFADDEN, Justice.
Respondent’s petition for rehearing challenges the Court’s determination that appellant’s theory of the case was not fully presented to the jury. Appellant did submit to the court requested instructions dealing with the theory of concurrent acts of negligence, and respondent contends that these instructions, which were given by the court, fully covered appellant’s theory of the case. With this contention we do not agree. In addition to the theory of concurrent acts of negligence, appellant by one of his requested instructions also sought to have the trial court instruct the jury on the theory of a single indivisible injury caused by two distinct blows. This theory of the case was not presented to the jury.
The petition for rehearing is denied.
KNUDSON, C. J., and McQUADE, TAYLOR and SMITH, JJ., concur.
