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
