Abstract
While in Arkansas, appellee, an Illinois resident, drove a third party\u27s automobile and was involved in a collision in which plaintiff\u27s intestate was killed. Plaintiff instituted a negligence action in an Arkansas court against appellee, who had previously returned to Chicago, by service and notification pursuant to the Arkansas nonresident motorist service statute. Appellee appeared specially and moved to quash the service as ineffective under the statute. On appeal from the lower court\u27s decision sustaining the motion, held, affirmed. The statutory language which permitted service on a nonresident owner did not allow service on a nonresident driver. Kerr v. Greenstein, (Ark. 1948) 212 S.W. (2d) 1
