The defendant driver brought a motion for summary judgment to dismiss the plaintiff passenger's action and the co-defendants' cross-claim against him following a motor vehicle collision.
The moving party argued the co-defendant lost control of his vehicle on a snow-covered highway and crossed into the moving party's lane on an on-ramp.
The co-defendant argued the collision occurred in the highway's right lane during a merge.
Applying the summary judgment framework, the court weighed the evidence, including independent witness testimony and accident reconstruction evidence, and found the moving party's version of events reliable.
The court concluded there was no genuine issue requiring a trial regarding the moving party's liability and dismissed the claims against him.
