Upon petition for rehearing:
Petition for rehearing assumes that the basis 'of the decision is, in effect, that plaintiff should have anticipated the car striking the rock, which she could not see until the moment of the impact. This is an erroneous conception. It is not the theory of the opinion that plaintiff should have observed the rock in time to warn the driver, or that she should have foreseen the exact manner in which the accident resulted; but that the circumstances, upon the present record, were such as to have put her on notice of possible danger. According to the testimony of plaintiff herself, in connection with other evidence which she developed, defendant was driving at a dangerous rate of speed. She is not precluded from another trial to establish a recoverable case.
