We affirm summary judgment to plaintiffs on liability in
this res ipsa case because plaintiffs’ proofs, although
circumstantial, were sufficient to make out a prima facie case
of negligence, which defendant could not rebut as he had no
explanation for his car having spun out of control and left the
roadway, striking and injuring plaintiffs as they stood on the
shoulder outside their disabled car. We reverse the summary
judgment to plaintiffs on agency. Although the parties made
cross-motions on a largely undisputed record, the inferences
that could be drawn from the undisputed facts vary greatly thus
requiring the agency issue to be determined by the jury. 07-23-12
