J. SPENCER BELL, Circuit Judge.
The plaintiffs, Ruth and John Krizak, sued the defendant, Brooks and Sons, Inc., for injuries which they sustained in an accident when the automobile in which they were riding as passengers collided with the defendant’s tractor-trailer driven by its employee, Sydnor. The two cases were tried together and the jury returned general verdicts for the defendant. The plaintiffs raise four questions on this appeal, two involving the court’s charge to the jury, and two involving evidentiary matters. For the reasons stated below, we reverse and remand for new trials.
