Per Curiam.

The plaintiff brought this action to recover damages from the defendant for personal injuries ‍​‌​​​‌‌‌​​​​​‌​‌​​‌​‌‌​‌​​‌​‌​​​​‌‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌​​​​​‌​‌​‌‌‌‌​‌​​‌‌‌​​​​​‌‌‌‌​‌‌​​​​‌​​‌‌‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌​​​‌‍which she sustained as the result of a collision between an automobile operated by her and one operated by the defendant at the intersection of Yale Avenue and Edgewood ‍​‌​​​‌‌‌​​​​​‌​‌​​‌​‌‌​‌​​‌​‌​​​​‌‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌​​​​​‌​‌​‌‌‌‌​‌​​‌‌‌​​​​​‌‌‌‌​‌‌​​​​‌​​‌‌‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌​​​‌‍Avenue in New Haven. The case was tried to the jury, which returned a verdict for the plaintiff. The defendant has appealed to this court, assigning as errors the ‍​‌​​​‌‌‌​​​​​‌​‌​​‌​‌‌​‌​​‌​‌​​​​‌‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌​​​​​‌​‌​‌‌‌‌​‌​​‌‌‌​​​​​‌‌‌‌​‌‌​​​​‌​​‌‌‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌​​​‌‍court’s refusal to charge in accordance with his requests to charge and the court’s finding the facts set forth in one paragraph of the finding without evidence.

We have ‍​‌​​​‌‌‌​​​​​‌​‌​​‌​‌‌​‌​​‌​‌​​​​‌‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌​​​​​‌​‌​‌‌‌‌​‌​​‌‌‌​​​​​‌‌‌‌​‌‌​​​​‌​​‌‌‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌​​​‌‍examined the record, and we conclude that the defendant is not entitled to the requested correction of the finding. The charge of the court was adequate to present the ‍​‌​​​‌‌‌​​​​​‌​‌​​‌​‌‌​‌​​‌​‌​​​​‌‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌​​​​​‌​‌​‌‌‌‌​‌​​‌‌‌​​​​​‌‌‌‌​‌‌​​​​‌​​‌‌‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌​​​‌‍case fairly to the jury. DeCarufel v. Colonial Trust Co., 143 Conn. 18, 20, 118 A.2d 798.

There is no error.
