1Opinion of the CourtWhite, C. J.

The appeal here is by the plaintiff from a $25,000 personal injury judgment resulting from a rear-end motor vehicle collision on Avenue M just outside Kearney, Nebraska. The gist of the plaintiff’s appeal is the contention that there was error in several instructions and that he was entitled to a directed verdict on the issue of liability. The defendants have cross-appealed contending that the plaintiff was guilty of contributory negligence as . a matter of law and that the action should be dismissed. We affirm the judgment of the district court and dismiss the cross-appeal.
