265 App. Div. 980 (N.Y. App. Div. 1942)

Opinion

December 29, 1942.

Appeal from Court of Claims.

Present — Hill, P.J., Crapser, Heffernan, Schenck and Foster, JJ.


On the afternoon of May 31, 1935, claimants were passengers in an automobile being operated between the village of Lake George and the village of Lake Luzerne on the State highway. The car left the pavement at a sharp curve, traveled a distance of about 147 feet on the rocky bank on the east side of the highway, and claimants were injured. It is the contention of claimants that there were rocks on the portion of the highway which caused the car to skid. Only questions of fact are involved. The proof would indicate that there were no rocks or obstructions in the highway. The findings of the Court of Claims are not against the weight of the evidence. Judgments unanimously affirmed, without costs.
