Mr. M (plaintiff) was driving northbound on the I-5 freeway in lane #1. Traffic on I-5 freeway heading northbound came to a stop.  About 4-5 seconds after Mr. M came to a halt, Mr. T (defendant), who was traveling behind Mr. M, was unable to come to a complete stop.  As a result, Mr. T rear ended Mr. M.
