Mohammad Ali Haidar was hit from the rear and collided with Lucy M. Ortiz, the driver of the car in front of him.
After Lucy filed suit with the Queens County Supreme Court and Mohammad's dismissal request was denied, he appealed to the Appellate Division, Second Department.
Because Mohammad showe that he was far enough from Lucy's auto to stop in time, and that the accident occurred because he was pushed by the vehicle behind him, the appellate court let the guy out of the case.
