CASE SUMMARY:  
In a per curiam Opinion, the Court held that plaintiff was not entitled to recover no-fault benefits where he sustained injury while hitching a ride on a railroad train in an effort to seek service for his disabled motor vehicle. The Court held that the injury did not arise out of "maintenance" of a motor vehicle in that an intention to repair a motor vehicle is not actual maintenance. Therefore, plaintiff was not permitted to recover benefits.
