Plaintiff-appellee Ludie Mack brought the instant suit against defendant-appellant Virginia Lee Flynn and defendant-appellees Custombilt Products, Inc. and Eric Cameron Duncan for personal injuries and property damage sustained in a three-car collision which occurred near the foot of the Sidney Lanier Bridge, located on U. S. Highway 71, Glynn County, Georgia. Ms. Mack, traveling south, had parked on the right shoulder of the road while the lift span of the bridge was raised to allow the passage of a boat below. Flynn and Duncan the driver of an Isuzu box truck owned by his employer, Custombilt, were also traveling south on U. S. 17 behind Mack. The accident occurred as Flynn changed lanes, moving from the left lane in which she was traveling into the right lane in front of Duncan. Duncan struck Flynn’s vehicle from the rear propelling it into Mack’s vehicle parked on the shoulder of the road. Sued as joint tortfeasors, Flynn, Duncan, and Custombilt answered, denying the material allegations of Mack’s complaint, as amended. No crossclaim or counterclaim was filed.
At the conclusion of the jury trial, the trial court granted Mack’s motion for a directed verdict as to liability against one or multiple defendants and sent the case to the jury with three special verdict forms. These allowed the jury to find in favor of Mack and against Flynn only; to find in favor of Mack and against Duncan and Custombilt; and to find in favor of Mack and against Flynn, Duncan, and Custombilt, respectively. The jury returned a verdict against Flynn, alone, in the amount of $469,800.00, inclusive of $5,000.00 for property damage as associated with the loss of Mack’s vehicle, plus interest and costs. Flynn appeals from the denial of her motion for new trial, and upon their motion to dismiss filed thereafter, we have dismissed Custombilt and Duncan from this appeal. ” ‘It is well-settled that where several are sued at law or in equity and a several verdict is had, a new trial as to one will not disturb the other.’ Willingham v. Field, 65 Ga. 440, 444 1880.” Brissette v. Munday, 222 Ga. 162, 163 149 SE 2d 110 1966; Gordon v. Johnson, 114 Ga. App. 207 150 SE2d 461 1966. Flynn’s claims of error as meritorious only as to the question of property damage, we affirm in part and reverse in part. Held:
