The evidence tended to show that the plaintiff was struck while standing on the sidewalk by a truck belonging to the do- *850 fendant. Tlie truck was used for delivering groceries in the due course of business. The driver of the truck left it to deliver a package of groceries and thereupon another employee of the defendant, who accompanied the driver in order to point out the homes of customers, undertook to turn the truck around in the street, and in so doing, ran it upon the sidewalk and into the plaintiff.

These facts invoke the principle of law declared in Jeffrey v. Mfg. Co., 197 N. C., 724, 150 S. E., 503, which is decisive of the merits of this case.

Affirmed.
