1Opinion of the CourtComley, J.
The named plaintiff is a fourteen-year-old boy, who brought this action to recover damages for personal injuries suffered by him when the bicycle which he was riding collided with an automobile driven by the named defendant. At the conclusion of the testimony, the trial court directed a verdict for the defendants, and from the judgment rendered thereon the plaintiffs have appealed to this court.
Directed verdicts are not favored and should be granted only when the jury could not reasonably and legally reach any other conclusion. Bader v. United Orthodox Synagogue, 148 Conn. 449, 455, 172 A.2d…
