Description
FIELD, Justice. This is an action of tort to recover compensation for personal injuries sustained by the plaintiff as the result of a collision between a motorcycle which he was operating on the highway and an automobile operated by the defendant. The declaration is in three counts. The first is for negligent operation of the defendant's automobile, the second for grossly negligent operation, and the third for wilful, wanton and reckless conduct in such operation. Verdicts for the defendant were directed on the first and second counts, but there was a verdict for the plaintiff on the third count. The case is here on the defendant's exceptions to the denial of his motion for a directed verdict on the third count, to the refusal of rulings and to a portion of the charge. It is undisputed that there was a collision on the highway between the motorcycle operated by the plaintiff and the automobile operated by the defendant, that injury to the plaintiff resulted, that his motorcycle was unregistered, and that there was evidence warranting a finding of wilful, wanton or reckless conduct on the part of the defendant.
