PLAINTIFF SUBMITTED POLICE REPORT IN SUPPORT OF SUMMARY JUDGMENT MOTION, REPORT CREATED A QUESTION OF FACT, PLAINTIFF WAIVED ANY OBJECTION TO ITS ADMISSIBILITY BY SUBMITTING IT.

The Second Department determined plaintiff created an issue of fact in this rear-end collision case by submitting a police report indicating defendant driver slid on snow and ice. The court noted plaintiff waived any objection to the admissibility of the report by submitting it in support of plaintiff's motion for summary judgment:

The police accident report indicated that the defendant driver stated that snow and ice on the road caused him to hit the plaintiff's vehicle, which demonstrated the existence of a triable issue of fact as to whether the defendant driver had a nonnegligent explanation for his actions … . Since the plaintiff submitted the police report in support of his motion, he waived any objection to its admissibility … . Orcel v Haber, 2016 NY Slip Op 04700, 2nd Dept 6-15-16
