RAWLINGS, Justice
(dissenting).
I respectfully dissent.
In my humble opinion the evidence, when viewed in a light most favorable to plaintiff, serves to create a jury issue. As we said in Cronk v. Iowa Power & Light Co., 258 Iowa 603, 612, 138 N.W.2d 843: “Whether a utility is negligent despite compliance with safety code is ordinarily a question for the jury or trier of fact.” See also rule 344(f) (10),R.C.P.
I would reverse and remand.
LARSON and BECKER, JJ., join in this dissent.
