Description
Rehearing denied November 29, 1972. The plaintiff, James Q. McGrath, brought suit in the circuit court of Du Page County against Alfred J. Rohde and William Link, on his own behalf, as the administrator of the estates of Bonnie McGrath and Matthew McGrath, and as the father and next friend of Michael McGrath and Julia McGrath. The plaintiff sought to recover for the wrongful deaths of two of his children, Bonnie and Matthew, for his own injuries and for injuries sustained by two of his other children, Julia and Michael. The claims arose from a collision involving three vehicles on November 28, 1965, on the Lake Street extension of the Eisenhower Expressway. Prior to trial, on the plaintiff's motion, the defendant Link was dismissed from the suit. At the close of the plaintiff's case the trial court granted defendant Rohde's motion for a directed verdict, and on appeal the appellate court affirmed the judgment which had been entered. (McGrath v. Rhode, 130 Ill. App.2d 596.) We granted the plaintiff's petition for leave to appeal.
