In the Matter of GOVERNMENT EMPLOYEES INSURANCE COMPANY, Respondent, v. ELIEZER STEINMETZ, Appellant.

Ordered that the order is affirmed, with costs.

"Where, as here, a case is tried without a jury, this Court's power to review the evidence is as broad as that of the trial court, `taking into account in a close case the fact that the trial judge had the advantage of seeing the witnesses'" ( Terry v State of New York, 39 AD3d 846, quoting Northern Westchester Professional Park Assoc, v Town of Bedford, 60 NY2d 492, 499). We decline to disturb the Supreme Court's finding that there was no physical contact between the appellant's vehicle and an alleged hit-and-run vehicle ( see Matter of Progressive Northeastern Ins. Co. v Sheikh, 40 AD3d 763, 764; Matter of Metropolitan Prop. Cos. Co. v Sands, 5 AD3d 601, 602).
