1Opinion of the Court

REYNOLDS, Justice.

Judgment was rendered for plaintiff’s full damages on a jury verdict embracing findings that both plaintiff and a defendant committed acts which were the proximate causes of a rear-end collision, but apportioning the negligence which caused the occurrence at zero per cent for plaintiff and one hundred per cent for the defendant. Plaintiff’s specific liability being unchallenged, the answer that none of his negligence caused the occurrence is against the great weight and preponderance of the evidence. Reversed and remanded.
