¶3Plaintiff 'was driving a car on Cranston street toward Arlington. Defendant was driving a car on Superior street toward tlie intersection. Defendant liad tlie right of way as plaintiff was approaching upon his left.

¶4Plaintiff claimed that defendant came into the intersection upon the left side of Superior street and that he, plaintiff, as soon as he observed defendant’s car swung to his, plaintiff’s left, but that defendant kept on going and struck plaintiff’s car.
