[*1]Kerron Jarrett, Plaintiff-Respondent,

v

Carlo C. Claro, Defendant-Appellant.

Picciano & Scahill, P.C., Bethpage (Andrea E. Ferrucci of counsel), for appellant.

German Rubenstein LLP, New York (Steven J. German of counsel), for respondent.

Order, Supreme Court, Bronx County (Doris M. Gonzalez, J.), entered May 11, 2017, which, inter alia, denied defendant's motion for summary judgment dismissing the complaint, unanimously affirmed, without costs.

Summary judgment was properly denied in this action for personal injuries sustained when plaintiff bicyclist was struck by a motor vehicle operated by defendant. The parties' conflicting versions as to how the accident occurred raise triable issues of fact (see Huerta-Saucedo v City Bronx Leasing Inc., 147 AD3d 695 [1st Dept 2017]; Beaubrun v Boltachev, 111 AD3d 494 [1st Dept 2013]). The statement attributed to plaintiff in the police report should not serve as grounds to render his deposition testimony incredible as a matter of law (see Ramos v Rojas, 37 AD3d 291, 292 [1st Dept 2007]).

We have considered the remaining arguments and find them unavailing.

THIS CONSTITUTES THE DECISION AND ORDER

OF THE SUPREME COURT, APPELLATE DIVISION, FIRST DEPARTMENT.
