HAWTHORNE, Justice.
Plaintiff Lee Cofield instituted this suit to recover damages for personal injuries sustained by him when an ice truck backed into him as he was walking along a street in the City of Natchitoches. In the lower court there was judgment in favor of plaintiff and against the defendant Max Burgdorf for $1,250 and an additional sum of $147.30 as medical expenses. The Court of Appeal reversed this judgment and dismissed plaintiff’s suit. On application of plaintiff this court granted a writ of certiorari, and the case is before us under our supervisory jurisdiction.
