Grant v. Griffin

CALVERT, Chief Justice.

Patricia Ann Grant was riding in an automobile being operated by a long-time acquaintance, Wilbert Edward Suggs, when the automobile left the highway and presumably ran against a tree. Suggs was killed in the accident and Miss Grant was seriously injured. Miss Grant sued Bill F. Griffin, administrator of the estate of Suggs, for damages sustained as a result of her injuries. The trial court withdrew the case from the jury at the conclusion of the plaintiff’s testimony and rendered judgment for the defendant. The Court of Civil Appeals affirmed. 383 S.W.2d 643. We affirm.
