ROBERTS, Justice.

This is an appeal from an order granting a new trial after verdict in favor of the plaintiff-appellant, in a suit to recover for injuries sustained in a railroad crossing collision.

It is well settled that an order granting a new trial will not be disturbed by this court except upon a clear showing of an abuse of the trial judge's judicial discretion. Dent v. Margaret Ann Super Markets, Inc., Fla., 52 So.2d 130
