GIVENS, Justice
(dissenting).
I concur in the opinion, except as to the reversal. The undisputed evidence there were skid marks for 180 feet before the lethal car left the dry highway and then .traveled 120 feet and came to rest upside down, together with plaintiff’s utterance at the hospital, were sufficient to present a jury question; namely, whether the defendant was driving with “reckless disregard” as properly defined in the instructions — the criterion of our guest statute.
The judgment should be affirmed.
THOMAS, J., concurs in this dissent.
