PER CURIAM.

Defendant-appellant appeals from an order granting appellee a new trial. We have examined the record and the trial court's order granting a new trial and vacating the directed verdict and judgment for the defendant and find the decision to be in accordance with law. Therefore we affirm. When a person is injured in two successive accidents, injuries sustained therefrom need not be apportioned. C.F. Hamblen, Inc. v.
