1Opinion of the CourtEggleston, J.

In an action for wrongful death Alpheus P. Hampton, administrator of the estate of Alpheus P. Hampton, Jr., deceased, has recovered a verdict and judgment of $5,000 against Ronald Eugene Lane. On this writ of error the defendant, Lane, attacks the sufficiency of the evidence to sustain the verdict and judgment, claiming that it fails to show (1) that he, the defendant, was guilty of any negligence which proximately caused his car to strike the plaintiff’s decedent, or (2) that the death of the plaintiff’s decedent was proximately caused by his being struck by the defendant’s car.
