Opinion
May 17, 1999
Appeal from the Supreme Court, Kings County (Barasch, J.).
Ordered that the order is affirmed insofar as appealed from, with one bill of costs to the respondents appearing separately and filing separate briefs.
Material issues of fact exist as to whether the appellants' illegally-parked car was a proximate cause of the plaintiffs' injuries sustained as a result of a multi-vehicle accident on the New York State Thruway ( see, Zuckerman v. City of New York, 49 N.Y.2d 557; Ferguson v. Gassman, 229 A.D.2d 464, 465; Sullivan v. Locastro, 178 A.D.2d 523, 525). Accordingly, the Supreme Court properly denied the appellants' motion for summary judgment.
Bracken, J. P., Thompson, Joy and Luciano, JJ., concur.
