WOODALL, Justice
(concurring in the result).
I concur in the result. I agree that the trial court erred by charging the jury on contributory negligence. Although James Travis Seward and Heartland Express, Inc., argue that they “presented sufficient evidence from which a reasonable juror could conclude that [Mary Nell] Phillips made a sudden stop that contributed to cause the accident,” brief of Seward and Heartland, at 38 (emphasis added), my review of the record reveals no evidence indicating that Phillips “made a sudden stop” or that she was possibly negligent in some other respect.
COBB, C.J., concurs.
