AUTOMOBILES AND MOTOR VEHICLES, § 166.1 — unauthorized judgment for injured pedestrian. Where first count of pedestrian's complaint in action against motorist for personal injuries charged negligence, and second count charged wilful and wanton misconduct by motorist, and jury returned general verdict for pedestrian, it would be presumed that jury found for pedestrian on wilful and wanton count; hence judgment for pedestrian was unauthorized where evidence was insufficient to prove that motorist was guilty of wilful and wanton misconduct.
