Judgment on the verdict for defendant. Plaintiff appealed.
In a collision between plaintiff's buggy and defendant's automobile, plaintiff alleges that he was thrown to the ground and seriously injured. There was evidence tending to support the jury's finding on the first and second issues; and we have found no reversible error committed on the trial. *Page 643 
It is well established that in an action like the present the contributory negligence of the plaintiff which proximately            (611) produces the injury will bar a recovery. Construction Co. v.R. R., 184 N.C. 179; Moore v. Iron Works, 183 N.C. 438.
No error.
