SHINN, P. J.
I concur in the judgment.
I do not commit myself to the belief that as the three automobiles were traveling at 15 miles per hour “bumper to bumper” the first one stopped, the second one, 3 feet behind the first, bumped into it, and then bounced back 5 feet and collided with the third car, which was standing still. However, it was not necessary for the jury to believe, nor is it necessary for us to believe in that phenomenon. The jury no doubt believed, as I do, that when the second car stopped the third car, driven by defendant, ran into it. But the jury had good reason to believe that it was not proved by a preponderance of the evidence that in failing to avoid a collision defendant was negligent.
