1Opinion of the Court

PRICE, Judge:

Appellee, Walter G. Kaulback, Jr., was charged with involuntary manslaughter under Section 2504 of the Crimes Code 1 arising from the death of a passenger in a car struck by appellee’s car. At the conclusion of the Commonwealth’s case, the trial court sustained a demurrer. As is their right, the Commonwealth has filed this appeal. We reverse.

The law in this Commonwealth is well established that the test to be applied upon consideration of the granting of a demurrer is whether the Commonwealth’s evidence and all reasonable inferences therefrom are sufficient to support a verdict…
