For the reasons this day assigned in the consolidated case bearing our docket No. 7019, entitled, " Viola Cassity v. James Williams, d/b/a Medi-Trans Ambulance Service, et al.", 373 So.2d 586, the judgment appealed is affirmed insofar as: (1) the awards to the plaintiffs, Royal-Globe Insurance Company and Mark Thompson, and against the defendants, James Williams, d/b/a Medi-Trans Ambulance Service, Billy Williams and United States Fidelity and Guaranty Company, are concerned; (2) it dismissed the plaintiffs' main demand against Viola Cassity and Hanover Insurance Company; and (3) it dismissed the third party demand of James Williams, d/b/a Medi-Trans Ambulance Service, Billy Williams and United States Fidelity and Guaranty Company against Viola Cassity.
