SHARON FEDER et al., Respondents, v. JOSEPH GRECO et al., Appellants.

Ordered that the order is affirmed, with one bill of costs.

The undisputed facts, as testified to by the defendant Joseph Greco at his examination before trial, establish that Greco, as he was making a left turn across a southbound road, was struck by the plaintiffs' vehicle, which was travelling on the southbound road. Although Groucho testified that he did not see the plaintiffs' car, which "came out of nowhere", he also testified that the plaintiffs' car struck his vehicle approximately one second after he started to turn, when he was only about five feet into the intersection.

Under such circumstances, Greco was clearly negligent in failing to see that which, under the facts and circumstances, he should have seen by the proper use of his senses. Accordingly, we agree with the Supreme Court that the plaintiffs are entitled to partial summary judgment on the issue of liability (see, Burns v. Mastroianni, 173 A.D.2d 754; McGraw v. Ranieri, 202 A.D.2d 725).

Copertino, J.P., Thompson, Santucci and Friedmann, JJ., concur.
