DISSENTING OPINION OF
WIRTZ, J.
I join with the Chief Justice in registering my dissent with the opinion of the court on the issue of contributory negligence. The facts in this case compel the conclusion that plaintiff was contributorily negligent as a matter of law under the principles enunciated in Young v. Price, 47 Haw. 309, 388 P.2d 203, and reiterated in the dissent on the rehearing of that case in 48 Haw. 22, 395 P.2d 365.
It thus becomes unnecessary to consider the remaining issues presented under this appeal.
