Julius J. Olson, Justice.

Plaintiff’s intestate died as result of injuries received in an automobile collision at a township highway crossing. As representative of his estate, plaintiff recovered a verdict for $7,500 against defendant, driver and owner of the car which collided with the one owned and driven by decedent.

Plaintiff consented, and defendant appeals.
