ALBERT W. AST et al., Respondents, v. STATE OF NEW YORK, Appellant. (Claim No. 64247.)

MEMORANDUM.

The order of the Appellate Division should be affirmed, with costs.

State Police urgently invoking the assistance of a Thruway toll collector to stop a fleeing vehicle owe a duty of due care to assure that compliance with their request does not expose the individual to a reasonably foreseeable risk of harm (see, Thain v City of New York, 35 A.D.2d 545, affd 30 N.Y.2d 524; Schuster v City of New York, 5 N.Y.2d 75, 81, 84; Lubelfeld v City of New York, 4 N.Y.2d 455). The affirmed findings, supported by the record, that this duty was breached and that such breach was a proximate cause of injury are beyond our review (Humphrey v State of New York, 60 N.Y.2d 742).

Chief Judge WACHTLER and Judges JASEN, MEYER, SIMONS, KAYE, ALEXANDER and TITONE concur.

Order affirmed, with costs, in a memorandum.
