1Opinion of the CourtHerndon, J.
Defendants appeal from an order granting plaintiff’s motion for a new trial. The sole ground upon which the new trial was granted was that error in law was committed in giving the “unavoidable accident” instruction (BAJI No. 134) condemned (except in special situations) in Butigan v. Yellow Cab Co., 49 Cal.2d 652 [320 P.2d 500], Defendants urge that under the peculiar facts of the instant case (1) the giving of the instruction did not constitute error, and (2) if there was error, it was not prejudicial.
Plaintiff seeks recovery of damages for personal injuries allegedly suffered as the result…
