““The only eyewitness, Mr. T. V. Thompson, testified that he observed the incident from a balcony approximately fifty or sixty feet from the scene. He testified emphatically that the vehicle did not strike plaintiff, but that plaintiff more or less slapped or ran into the car. Thompson stated that the contact was at the right rear of the car.””
