Description
Charles Lawton and Mrs. Hazel Lawton, his wife, sued Mrs. E. N. Chastain in two separate actions for damages for personal injuries to Mrs. Lawton, suffered as a result of the collision with a telephone or light pole and a tree within the city limits of Dalton, Georgia, of an automobile driven by Mrs. Chastain, and in which Mrs. Lawton was riding as a guest. The plaintiffs alleged that the actions of the defendant in operating the automobile immediately prior to the injury constituted gross negligence. The defendant denied the material allegations of the plaintiffs' petitions and denied that she was guilty of gross negligence. The cases were tried together and the jury returned a verdict for Mrs. Lawton for $1500 and for her husband for $1000. The defendant made a motion for a new trial on the general grounds in each case and amended each motion by the addition of one special ground. The trial court overruled the motions, and the exceptions here are to those orders. The plaintiff in error in these cases has expressly abandoned the special grounds of the motions for new trial and has argued only the general grounds of the motions. The sole question as presented in the briefs of counsel for the plaintiff in error is whether there was any evidence which would authorize a jury to find the defendant guilty of gross negligence as alleged in the petition.
