Plaintiff was thrown by the sudden switching of the tongue against the barn, and thus injured. His injuries were not caused by the negligence of defendant\u2019s driver. Defendant is therefore not liable in damages to plaintiff on account of his injuries.\nThe judgment dismissing the action is\nAffirmed.",
