ROBINSON v. MONAHAN

No. 62-178.

146 So.2d 397 (1962)

Annie Mae ROBINSON and Willie Robinson, Her Husband, Appellants, v. Mayme E. MONAHAN and Paul Hamersmid, Appellees.

District Court of Appeal of Florida. Third District.

November 13, 1962.


Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Gilbert & Young, Miami Beach, and Toby H. Hyman, Miami, for appellants.

Fowler, White, Gillen, Humkey & Trenam and Kenneth L. Ryskamp, Wicker, Smith, Blomqvist, Hinckley & Davant and Anthony Reinert, Miami, for appellees.

Before PEARSON, TILLMAN, C.J., and HORTON and CARROLL, JJ.


PER CURIAM.

The trial judge correctly directed a verdict for the appellees because the evidence conclusively shows that the act of another constituted an independent, intervening, efficient cause of the accident which was not reasonably foreseeable. See Rawls v. Ziegler, Fla. 1958, 107 So.2d 601; Lingefelt v. Hanner, Fla.App. 1960, 125 So.2d 325.
