1Opinion of the Court

Opinion by

Jacobs, J.,

In this case, plaintiff appeals from the refusal of the court below to remove a compulsory nonsuit entered for defendant who was the driver of an automobile which struck and killed plaintiff’s decedent.

“On appeal from the grant of a compulsory nonsuit we consider the evidence, and all the reasonable inferences therefrom, in the light most favorable to plaintiff.” McN ett v. Briggs, 217 Pa. Superior Ct. 322, 324, 272 A.2d 202, 204…
