In a negligence action to recover damages for personal injuries sustained by a sleeping passenger of an automobile that left the roadway and collided with a utility pole when the driver fell asleep at the wheel, defendants appeal from an order of the Supreme Court, Suffolk County, entered May 4, 1970, which granted plaintiffs' motion for summary judgment and directed an assessment of damages. Order reversed, without costs, and plaintiffs' motion denied. In our opinion, the record presents triable issues as to the alleged negligence of the defendant driver in falling asleep at the wheel of the automobile while driving ( Cicero v. Clark, 23 A.D.2d 583; Smith v. McIntyre, 20 A.D.2d 711; Donahue v. Romahn, 10 A.D.2d 637). Christ, P.J., Rabin, Hopkins, Munder and Martuscello, JJ., concur.
