Per Curiam.

This is an action to recover property damage caused by a collision of tbe ‍​‌​​​​‌​​​‌​​‌​​​​​‌‌‌‌‌‌​‌​​​‌‌​​‌‌​​​​​​‌‌​​‌‌‌‌‌​​‌‌‌‌​​​​​‌‌‌‌‌​‌‌​​‌​​‌​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌‌​‌​​‌​​‌‌‍plaintiff’s tractor and trailer with tbe defendant’s truck upon tbe public highway.

There was allegation and evidence tending to prove tbat tbe defendant’s truck was parked at least partially on tbe ‍​‌​​​​‌​​​‌​​‌​​​​​‌‌‌‌‌‌​‌​​​‌‌​​‌‌​​​​​​‌‌​​‌‌‌‌‌​​‌‌‌‌​​​​​‌‌‌‌‌​‌‌​​‌​​‌​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌‌​‌​​‌​​‌‌‍bard surface of tbe road in tbe nighttime without lights either in front or rear, and tbat tbe driver of tbe plaintiff’s tractor did not observe tbe truck in ‍​‌​​​​‌​​​‌​​‌​​​​​‌‌‌‌‌‌​‌​​​‌‌​​‌‌​​​​​​‌‌​​‌‌‌‌‌​​‌‌‌‌​​​​​‌‌‌‌‌​‌‌​​‌​​‌​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌‌​‌​​‌​​‌‌‍time to avoid colliding with it. This was sufficient to deny tbe defendant’s motion for nonsuit. Williams v. Express Lines, 198 N. C., 193; Cole v. Koonce, 214 N. C., 188; Clarke v. Martin, ‍​‌​​​​‌​​​‌​​‌​​​​​‌‌‌‌‌‌​‌​​​‌‌​​‌‌​​​​​​‌‌​​‌‌‌‌‌​​‌‌‌‌​​​​​‌‌‌‌‌​‌‌​​‌​​‌​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌‌​‌​​‌​​‌‌‍ante, 405.

We have examined tbe exceptions preserved to portions of the evidence and find therein no prejudicial error.

Since tbe jury, under a charge to wbicb no exceptions were taken, has answered ‍​‌​​​​‌​​​‌​​‌​​​​​‌‌‌‌‌‌​‌​​​‌‌​​‌‌​​​​​​‌‌​​‌‌‌‌‌​​‌‌‌‌​​​​​‌‌‌‌‌​‌‌​​‌​​‌​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌‌​‌​​‌​​‌‌‍tbe issues against tbe defendant, tbe judgment predicated upon tbe verdict must be affirmed.

No error.
