Description
Rehearing denied January 18, 1968. The plaintiff, Larry McElroy, brought an action against the defendant, Dovie Force, administratrix of Harold Robison, deceased, in the circuit court of Madison County to recover damages for injuries he sustained when the automobile in which he and the defendant's intestate were riding left the highway and collided with a concrete abutment. The jury returned a verdict against the defendant for $21,000 and judgment was entered on the verdict. On the defendant's appeal the Appellate Court for the Fifth District affirmed the judgment (75 Ill. App.2d 441) and we granted leave to appeal. In his brief in this court the defendant contends that the judgment must be reversed in that judgment should have been entered in her favor, because an instruction given at the request of the plaintiff peremptorily compelled the jury to conclude that the defendant's intestate was the driver, and because of improper argument by the attorney for the plaintiff. Our discussion is limited to these contentions.
