| Court | New York Supreme Court — Appellate Division |
Ordered that the judgment is affirmed, with costs.
On November 28, 1994, the plaintiff Louis A. Furino lost control of a motor vehicle that he was operating on Quaker Meeting House Road in Farmingdale, and collided with another vehicle. The jury returned a verdict finding that "the studies, investigations or inquiries undertaken by [the defendant] the County of Nassau regarding Quaker Meeting House Road [were] plainly inadequate." We find that this aspect of the verdict was supported by a valid line of reasoning and permissible inferences which could lead rational people to the conclusion reached by the jury (see Weiss v Fote, 7 NY2d 579; see also Ernest v Red Cr. Cent. School Dist., 93 NY2d 664; Friedman v State of New York, 67 NY2d 271; Zawacki v County of Nassau, 299 AD2d 542 [decided herewith]).
The appellant's remaining contentions are without merit.
