1Opinion of the Court

ROBERTSON, Presiding Judge.

Joseph Bruce Thompson, Jr. (Thompson) brings this appeal from an adverse jury verdict in his personal injury and property damage suit against Fred Lee and Fred Lee, Jr. (Lees). We affirm.

The facts most favorable to the judgment are that Thompson was driving his motorcycle on May 19, 1978 at approximately 11:00 p. m. on a blacktop county road in Rush County. As he was traveling down the road, he suddenly saw a black Angus cow. He braked, but hit the animal. Thompson sustained severe injury to his shoulder and hip. The motorcycle was damaged beyond repair.
