OPINION
•' JOE W. WOOD, Judge, Court of Appeals.
Aggravation of a pre-existing condition was included in the damage instruction as an item for which damages could be awarded. Defendants objected to this inclusion, claiming there was no evidence of aggravation. The objection raised two issues: (1) evidence of causal connection and (2) evidence of the extent of aggravation.
There was a two-car accident. At the time of the accident Dennis Martin was driving an automobile owned by his father, George Martin, and Tom Darwin was driving an automobile owned by his father, Ray Darwin.
