    Sharply curved highway ramp isn't unsafe, New York judge rules


    A judge declined to award damages to a man who claimed that he was injured in a motor-vehicle accident on a dangerous section of an upstate highway. The claimant, Frederick Woods IV, was injured when his car spun off of a ramp that joined Interstate 84 and Route 17, in Phillipsburg.

    Woods claimed that the sharply curving ramp could not be safely navigated at the posted 25-mph speed limit. He also claimed that the state was aware of the ramp's hazardous condition, given that several trucks had been involved in rollover accidents on the ramp. The state contended that Woods did not prove that the ramp was unsafe for cars and that Woods was simply traveling too fast on a wet road. Judge Terry Jane Ruderman agreed, and the claim was dismissed.
