PER CURIAM.
This action arose out of an automobile-pedestrian accident which occurred in October, 1961. A jury trial was held and plaintiff was awarded $18,000. Defendant's motion for a new trial was denied, and he has appealed alleging several errors.
After a careful reading of the trial court's instructions regarding the application of MCLA §§ 257.612, 257.613 (Stat Ann 1968 Rev §§ 9.2312, 9.2313) concerning pedestrians crossing streets, we hold that the instructions were not erroneous.
Defendant asserts that the admission of the rebuttal testimony was prejudicial to him because he was surprised and plaintiff was trying to get in a last word to the jury. The record does not support these allegations since the trial court granted a one-day continuance so that defendant could bring in a surrebuttal witness. We find no error. The admission of rebuttal evidence rests in the sound discretion of the court. Arnold v. Ellis (1966), 5 Mich. App. 101.
The other issues raised by defendant relating to the denial of a directed verdict, plaintiff's contributory negligence as a matter of law, and the verdict being against the great weight of the evidence are not sustained by the record.
Affirmed, costs to plaintiff.
