GLADNEY, Judge.
This is an action for the recovery of damages for personal injuries received by George K. Roberts in an automobile accident which occurred August 13, 1955, on Louisiana Highway No. 1 about one mile northwest of Natchitoches when William D. McFerrin drove his automobile into the rear of the truck in which plaintiff was seated. From a judgment in favor of Roberts for $3,000, defendants have appealed on the ground the award is excessive. Ap-pellee has answered the appeal seeking an increase.
