1Opinion of the Court
MR. PRESIDING JUSTICE BURMAN
delivered the opinion of the court.
George Haas, a pedestrian, brought this suit to recover damages for personal injuries which he sustained when struck by an automobile driven by Margaret Woodard. The defendant appeals from a judgment which was entered upon a jury verdict awarding the plaintiff $15,000 in damages. Although she raises no issues with respect to the pleadings, the defendant does contend that the plaintiff was eontributorily negligent as a matter of law and that the verdict and judgment are against the manifest weight of the evidence.
