AMANDA WAMPLER and GENE WAMPLER v. WESLEY SPEAKE, Defendant-Respondent.

GARY W. LYNCH, J. :

Amanda Wampler 1 brought an action for negligence against Wesley Speake following an auto accident in which she alleged she sustained damages. A jury found in favor of, Speake, and Wam-pler brings two claims of error on appeal: (1) the trial court erred in refusing to instruct the jury on the rear-end collision doctrine; and (2) the trial court erred in overruling her objection to a portion of Speake’s closing argument.
