In an action to recover damages for personal injuries received in a collision between an auto truck and a motorcycle, the court rendered judgment on a directed verdict for the defendant at the close of plaintiff's testimony and later denied a motion for new trial. Plaintiff took writ of error.
The testimony adduced for the plaintiff clearly showed substantial contributory negligence of the plaintiff who was *Page 297 
riding the motorcycle when the collision occurred. This bars recovery by the common law applicable in such cases.
Affirmed.
