WARDEN, Judge.

When plaintiff was three years old, he got out of the back door of a car driven by defendant Phounsaveth before the car came to a stop and was pinned under a rear wheel. Phimmala Phounsaveth, plaintiff's babysitter, was also in the car. This action for damages based on negligence was brought against the driver and the owners of the car, the Reinertsens. The jury returned a verdict in favor of defendants. Plaintiff appeals. We reverse and remand.
