Opinion
A96A1008.
DECIDED MAY 30, 1997.
Action for damages. Houston State Court. Before Judge Richardson.
Sell Melton, Mitchel P. House, Jr., Jeffrey B. Hanson, for appellant.
Walker, Hulbert, Gray Byrd, Michael G. Gray, Jones, Cork Miller, Wendell K. Howell, Robert C. Norman, Jr., for appellees.
In Johnson v. Knebel, 267 Ga. 853 ( 485 S.E.2d 451) (1997), the Supreme Court reversed the holding of Division 2 of this court's opinion in Johnson v. Knebel, 222 Ga. App. 522 ( 474 S.E.2d 636) (1996). In Division 2 of our opinion, we found that the trial court committed no error by allowing a witness to offer his opinion as to which of two automobile collisions likely caused appellant's injuries. The Supreme Court held that ruling to be error and found the erroneous admission of this testimony likely contributed to the verdict. Therefore, we vacate our earlier opinion, adopt the opinion of the Supreme Court as our own, and reverse the trial court's judgment and remand for a new trial.
Judgment reversed and remanded for new trial. Birdsong, P. J., and Beasley, J., concur.
