Appellant, a guest in an automobile, brought this suit for damages suffered in a crossing collision between the automobile and appellees railroad train.

The defense was not guilty. The evidence concluded, defendant moved for and obtained a directed verdict on the ground that the proximate cause of the injury was the negligence of the driver of the car in driving blindly across the railroad track, without stopping and looking or taking any other precaution against being struck by the train.
