1Opinion of the CourtDavidson, J.
On 24 February 1972 an automobile struck and killed a pedestrian, Joseph Lee Dynan, aged 20. His parents, Philip and Rosnell Dynan, and his father as personal representative of his estate sued Phillip Baxter Whitt, the driver of the automobile, for damages. At the trial in the Circuit Court for Baltimore County, Judge Walter R. Haile denied Whitt’s motion for a directed verdict. A jury returned verdicts totalling $12,000 in favor of the parents and estate of the deceased. Whitt’s subsequent motion for judgment n.o.v. or a new trial was also denied. This appeal followed.
