DECISION ORDER
ORDERED that the judgment is affirmed, with costs.
The trial court correctly denied the plaintiffs' motion pursuant to CPLR 4404 to set aside the verdict. It cannot be said that the jury's finding in favor of the defendants could not be reached on any fair interpretation of the evidence (see, Cohen v. Hallmark Cards, 45 N.Y.2d 493; Ruscito v. Early, 253 A.D.2d 461; Nicastro v. Park, 113 A.D.2d 129).
Contrary to the plaintiffs' contentions, the evidence did not justify their request to charge the jury on a motor vehicle turning against traffic (see, Mudy v. Moore Bus. Forms, 262 A.D.2d 375). The trial court's charge was adequate to instruct the jury on the appropriate legal standards to be applied and the factual issues to be determined (see, Antipenko v. Schmidke, 255 A.D.2d 410; Brennan v. Commonwealth Bank Trust Co., 65 A.D.2d 636).
