1942A policy containing the same terms was before the Court of Appeals in Morgan v. New York Casualty Co., 54 Ga. App. 620 ( 188 S. E. 581 ), and it was ruled that the policy “did not obligate the insured to defend an action based on a claim of injury the proximate cause of which was in no way connected with the operation of the truck.” As pointed out by the Court of Appeals in its opinion in the present case, there is authority to the contrary from some jurisdictions.
