Description
Plaintiff, Robert Gould, appeals from a jury verdict in favor of defendant, Gerald Spreitzer, Jr., in his suit for personal injuries resulting from a fall from defendant's pickup truck. Plaintiff claims that the trial court should have granted his motion for a directed verdict, and in the alternative that the jury's verdict is contrary to the manifest weight of the evidence. On November 2, 1982, defendant, then age 17, picked up plaintiff, then age 15, and two fellow high school students, in his pickup truck, in order to drive them to a football game. Plaintiff and his friend, A.J. Bevilacquia, rode in the bed of the truck while defendant and another boy rode in the cab. They went to pick up another student, named Tony. As they neared Tony's house, the plaintiff and Bevilacquia stood up in the bed of the truck and began slapping or banging on the roof and side windows of the truck. In response to this ""horsing around,"" defendant quickly turned the wheel of the truck back and forth several times. Plaintiff fell from the truck and injured his arm.
