255 A.D.2d 938 (N.Y. App. Div. 1998)

Opinion

November 13, 1998

Appeal from the Supreme Court, Erie County, Whelan, J. — Summary Judgment.

Present — Pine, J. P., Wisner, Pigott, Jr., Callahan and Fallon, JJ.


Order unanimously affirmed without costs. Memorandum: Supreme Court properly denied the motion of defendant Nancy E. Nathan for summary judgment dismissing the complaint. There is an issue of fact whether Nathan's conduct in signaling defendant Sandra Ocampos to pull her vehicle in front of Nathan's vehicle was a proximate cause of the injuries sustained by plaintiff Stephen Stalikas, Jr., or whether the conduct of Ocampos was a superseding cause of those injuries ( see, Barber v. Merchant, 180 A.D.2d 984, 986-987; cf., Valdez v. Bernard, 123 A.D.2d 351).
