AUTOMOBILES AND MOTOR VEHICLES, § 130 — when denial of motion to withdraw juror was erroneous. In action against driver and employer for injuries received from collision between plaintiff's automobile and defendant employer's truck, where plaintiff's counsel asked police officer question concerning position of vehicles according to statement in police report, court's denial of defendant's motion to withdraw juror was erroneous, requiring reversal of judgment holding driver and employer liable for full amount of damages awarded, where question was vital to case, and counsel attempted thereby, to get before jury part of contents of written police report which court had refused to receive in evidence.
