AUTOMOBILES AND MOTOR VEHICLES, § 118 — when defendants' contention that there was no proof of their negligence was without merit. In action to recover damages for personal injuries sustained by plaintiff when struck by defendants' truck after alighting from street car and while crossing street, where defendants contended that there was no proof as to their negligence, and it appeared that driver of truck testified that he was familiar with intersection, that after making right-hand turn onto street in question, he proceeded eastward at accelerated speed which was increased until time of accident, that he did not sound his horn at any time and that he knew that people alighted from street cars at that point and crossed street there, held that such contention was without merit.
