AUTOMOBILES AND MOTOR VEHICLES, § 164 — instruction as objectionable because not stating law correctly. In action for personal injuries sustained by plaintiff when struck by defendant's automobile, where instruction to jury recited statute providing that pedestrians crossing roadway should yield right of way to vehicles under certain circumstances, and directed that if jury believed from evidence that plaintiff violated such statute, and if that was proximate cause of injury, then plaintiff could not recover, held that instruction was objectionable because it did not correctly state law with respect to rights of pedestrian on public highway or duties of vehicle operator, and because it omitted subsection (d) of statute referred to (Ill. Rev. Stat. 1945, ch. 95 1/2, par. 172; Jones Ill. Stats. Ann. 85.204).
