1Opinion of the CourtThornton, J.

— Plaintiff father brings this action in two divisions, one on behalf of his three-year-old son, Thomas, Jr., for injuries sustained, and the second on his own behalf for the expenses of a cure. The son will be referred to as plaintiff.

Plaintiff was struck by defendant’s car in the street in front of his home on the east side of South Rustin Street in Sioux City.

The trial court directed a verdict for defendant after both sides rested because the evidence failed to show defendant was negligent and any negligence of defendant was the proximate cause of plaintiff’s injuries.
