On Motion for Rehearing.
The indictment in this case differs from that in Thacker v. State, 103 Ga. App. 36 (117 SE2d 913) in that here it specifically alleges that the defendant while engaged in certain unlawful acts caused the two vehicles to collide, thus inflicting mortal wounds on the deceased. Such allegations overcome the deficiency pointed out in the Thacker case. This being true it became a matter of proof as to whether the unlawful act of the defendant was the proximate cause of the collision. The evidence on this point was sufficient to present a question for determination by the jury, as pointed out in Division 4 of the opinion.
