Order unanimously reversed, with costs and motion denied. Memorandum: It is not clear from the deposition of the plaintiff Theresa Greco and the affidavit of Antoinette Geisler just how this accident occurred, which of the two drivers was at fault or whether they were both negligent. The issue of negligence should be tried in the normal manner upon oral testimony.
While we do not hold that the motor vehicle report of Marvin Thompson is of any evidentiary value, at least it gives notice that had Thompson and Kreger Truck Renting Company been made parties to this motion there would have been a dispute as to who was at fault. Undoubtedly an affidavit of Thompson would have accused Antoinette Geisler of being wholly or partially to blame.
While we do not necessarily reach the question, we observe that it would be better practice, if it is not actually necessary, to join all parties who have an interest in the outcome, in a motion of this type. (Appeal from order of Erie Special Term granting motion of defendant, Geisler, for
summary judgment dismissing the complaint as to her.) Present — Williams, P. J., Bastow, Henry, Noonan and Del Yecchio, JJ.
