Boslatjgh, J.,
dissenting.
If the evidence is considered in the light most favorable to the plaintiff, and all conflicts are resolved in his favor, the jury could have found the plaintiff was 3 to 5 feet from the south curb when he was struck by the Briehaeek automobile which had been accelerated to 35 to 40 miles per hour and had swerved to the right. It •is clear that the accident would not have happened if the speed of the Briehaeek automobile had not increased and it had not swerved toward the south curb. ■ .
In my opinion the evidence presented questions of negligence and contributory negligence which under the comparative negligence statute were required to be submitted to the jury. • ■ '
