MARY L. SPELLS, Respondent, v. WALTER J. LEWIS et al., Appellants.

Order unanimously affirmed with costs. Memorandum: Supreme Court properly granted plaintiff's motion for summary judgment on the issue of liability. It is undisputed that defendant Walter J. Lewis turned left into plaintiff's vehicle as it approached from the opposite direction. The proof establishes that "defendant was negligent in either failing to see that which under the facts or circumstances he should have seen, or in trying to cross in front of the plaintiff when it was hazardous to do so" (Hernandez v. Joseph, 143 A.D.2d 632; see also, Burns v. Mastroianni, 173 A.D.2d 754; Lester v Jolicofur, 120 A.D.2d 574; Kiernan v. Edwards, 97 A.D.2d 750, appeal dismissed 62 N.Y.2d 617). No evidence in the record indicates any negligence on the part of plaintiff that contributed to the accident (see, Burns v. Mastroianni, supra; cf., Stoehr v. Levere, 183 A.D.2d 886).
