¶1The only meritorious issue raised is the correctness of the trial court’s order granting mistrial based upon a witness’s statement indicating that the Plaintiff had received a traffic citation. The trial court found that the gratuitous comment was a clear implication of the Plaintiffs fault and granted a mistrial. We affirm. See Spanagel v. Love, 585 So.2d 317 (Fla. 5th DCA 1991).
