The plaintiff cyclist was injured when he collided with the defendant's SUV, which was stopped in a crosswalk waiting to make a right turn.
The plaintiff's bicycle brakes failed as he approached the intersection, causing him to swerve and strike the defendant's vehicle.
The defendant moved for summary judgment to dismiss the negligence action.
The court granted the motion, finding that the defendant acted as a reasonable and prudent driver and was not negligent in failing to see the plaintiff approaching from a distance or in her reaction to the sudden emergency.
