DECISION ORDER
ORDERED that the order is reversed, on the law, with costs, and the motion is granted.
In support of his motion for summary judgment, the plaintiff submitted a police accident report recorded by a police officer at the scene, which contained an admission by the defendant that, as he was taking the key out of his vehicle's ignition, his vehicle rolled forward and hit the plaintiff, who was standing behind the plaintiff's parked vehicle. Contrary to the defendant's contention, his statement was admissible as the admission of a party ( see Guevara v. Zaharakis, 303 A.D.2d 555; Matter of Nationwide Mut. Ins. Co. v. McMillan, 288 A.D.2d 224; Aloi v. Firebird Freight Serv. Corp., 251 A.D.2d 608).
The plaintiff demonstrated his prima facie entitlement to judgment as a matter of law on the issue of liability ( see Flood v. Travelers Vil. Garage, 66 A.D.2d 726). In opposition, the defendant failed to demonstrate by admissible evidence the existence of a triable issue of fact.
Accordingly, the court erred in denying the plaintiff's motion for summary judgment ( see Alvarez v. Prospect Hosp., 68 N.Y.2d 320; Zuckerman v. City of New York, 49 N.Y.2d 557).
