A vehicle driven at night on an interstate highway by plaintiff Nadia Registe was struck by a reckless driver, causing her to lose control of the vehicle. The vehicle veered toward the right shoulder of the road, spun back across three lanes of traffic, hit a guardrail, and ended up perpendicular to the flow of traffic, resting across almost three lanes of the roadway. Thereafter, a' truck owned by defendant LinkAmerica Express, Inc. came upon the *883 scene and collided into Registers vehicle, causing injury to her and her minor daughter. Plaintiff suéd Defendant for negligence. Following a trial, the jury returned a verdict for Defendant, and the district judge entered judgment accordingly. , .
In this appeal, Plaintiff raises four arguments. First, Plaintiff disputes the district judge’s decision to exclude evidence of traffic data collected by a device near the collision. Second, Plaintiff challenges the district judge’s refusal to give several of Plaintiffs proposed jury instructions. Third, Plaintiff .challenges Defendant’s closing argument, which included an argument that Defendant’s driver faced an “emergency.” And fourth, Plaintiff, disputes the district judge’s decision to exclude from evidence a trucking manual discussed during trial.
After reviewing the parties’ briefs and the record, and with the benefit of oral argument, we find no reversible error in the district court’s rulings,
AFFIRMED.
