““Section 1 — That no person transported by the owner or operator of a motor vehicle as his guest or passenger, without payment for such transportation, shall ‘have a cause of action for damages against such owner or operator for injury, death or loss, in case of accident, unless such accident shall have been caused by the gross negligence or wilful and wanton misconduct of the owner or operator of such motor vehicle and unless such gross negligence or wilful and wanton misconduct was the proximate cause of the injury, death or loss for which the action is brought, provided that the question of - proximate cause, and the issue or question of assumed risk, shall in all such cases be solely for the jury.’ ””
