Description
QUA, Justice. At the time of the accident out of which these actions arose both plaintiffs were riding from Dedham to Norwood in the defendant's automobile as his guests. Hence the general findings in their favor can stand only if the evidence would support a finding that the accident was caused by gross negligence on his part. Both plaintiffs were on the front seat with the defendant, who was driving. It was eleven o'clock or after on a very cold, dark night. There was evidence that there were ice patches all along the road and that there was snow piled upon the side. Each of the plaintiffs testified in substance that as the automobile was proceeding on the right-hand side of the road at moderate speed without any warning it skidded and struck a tree at the right of the road; that she observed the manner in which it was being operated and the road and that the defendant was paying attention to his driving and did nothing to cause the automobile to skid or to leave the road.
