REID, Judge. This case was consolidated with No. 6237, 170 So.2d 665, Earl Kimball, Individually and as Administrator of the Estate of Dolly Pauline Kimball v. Lewis C. Landreneau, Sr., et al. The record in this case does not disclose any judgment upon which an appeal can be based.

"* * * Furthermore, the court has determined that the passing maneuver had begun prior to the attempted left turn and had the right to believe the lead car would yield the right of way in accordance with LSA-R.S. 32:104. In the case of Kimball v. Landreneau, 1st Cir., La.App., 170 So.2d 665 at page 670 the court quoting from United States Fidelity Guaranty Co. v. Bergeron, La.App., 148 So.2d 162, with approval stated: "'It is the [ sic] hornbook law that a left hand turn across a highway constitutes one of the most hazardous maneuvers that a driver is called upon to perform and he must initially ascertain by careful observation that the maneuver can be executed safely without danger to normal overtaking and on-coming traffic and must yield right-of-way to such vehicles.'
This testimony forms a reasonable factual basis for the trial judge's exoneration of Lewis from negligence. Kimball v. Landreneau, 170 So.2d 665 (La.App. 1st Cir. 1964); Washington Fire Marine Insurance Company v. Firemen's Insurance Company, 232 La. 379, 94 So.2d 295 (1957).U.S. Fidelity Guaranty Co. v. Bergeron, 148 So.2d 162 (La.App. 1st Cir. 1962).
We find that the situation that Wells found himself in was that of one who is suddenly confronted with an emergency and does not have a chance to avoid the accident. Scott v. Travelers Insurance Company, La. App., 194 So.2d 154 (1st Cir. 1967) supra; Kimball v. Landreneau, La. App., 170 So.2d 665 (1st Cir. 1964). For the foregoing reasons the judgment of the court a quo in favor of the defendant, Government Employees Insurance Company and against the plaintiffs, Willie Matthews individually and as the natural tutor of and for the use and benefit of his minor daughter, Rose, and Edwina Matthews, wife of Willie Matthews, dismissing plaintiffs' suit at plaintiffs' cost is affirmed.
Furthermore, the court has determined that the passing maneuver had begun prior to the attempted left turn and had the right to believe the lead car would yield the right of way in accordance with LSA-R.S. 32:104. In the case of Kimball v. Landreneau, 1st Cir., La. App., 170 So.2d 665 at page 670 the court quoting from United States Fidelity Guaranty Co. v. Bergeron, La. App., 148 So.2d 162, with approval stated: "It is the hornbook law that a left hand turn across a highway constitutes one of the most hazardous maneuvers that a driver is called upon to perform and he must initially ascertain by careful observation that the maneuver can be executed safely without danger to normal overtaking and oncoming traffic and must yield right-of-way to such vehicles."
REID, Judge. This case was consolidated with No. 6237, 170 So.2d 665, Earl Kimball, Individually and as Administrator of the Estate of Dolly Pauline Kimball v. Lewis C. Landreneau, Sr., et al. The facts and the questions of liability were decided and fully discussed in the companion suit. From our determination of the facts and questions of liability fully decided and discussed in that opinion, we conclude that the District Court judgment in favor of the plaintiff against Samuel Thomas, Lewis C. Landreneau, Sr. and American Surety Company of New York, should be reversed and plaintiff's suit insofar as those defendants dismissed. The judgment of the Trial Court rendered against the defendants Shelley H. Brawley and American Casualty Company of Reading, Pennsylvania is affirmed.
