Missouri Court of Appeals November 3, 1987, 52269 (Fisher v. McIlroy)

DOWD, Judge.

Defendant, Ira Mcllroy, appeals from the trial court’s order vacating the jury verdict in favor of defendant on his counterclaim and granting a motion for a new trial. Defendant appeals from the circuit court’s holdings of an erroneous submission of an instruction under the “rear-end collision” doctrine and bias and prejudice resulting in an excessive verdict.
