*885Hill, J.
(concurring)—I concur in the result for the reasons stated in the majority opinion, but I do not concur in the statement that there were no errors in the instructions except as indicated in the majority opinion. Respondent Schaal’s own testimony was that Billington’s sudden stop made the collision inevitable, and it is my view that that testimony made inapplicable the usual emergency instruction as given by the trial court. That instruction implies a choice of conduct when instant action is required to avert a collision or injury. There was no choice available, hence no reason for the emergency instruction.
Grady, C. J., and Olson, J., concur with Hill, J.
