The witnesses for the State testified that an automobile driven by appellant, while on his left-hand side of the road, collided with an automobile containing some high school boys, causing injuries to them and to appellant. They further testified that appellant was intoxicated.

The appellant and his witnesses testified that he was not intoxicated.
