SHARP, Judge.

Smith appeals from a final summary judgment denying him any recovery under *74his motor vehicle insurance policy for personal injury protection benefits. The insurer, Fortune Insurance Company, denied coverage because Smith’s injuries were not caused by physical contact with a motor vehicle. The lower court ruled that Smith could not recover for his personal injuries, since the record established they were not “caused by physical contact with a motor vehicle” within the meaning of section 627.-736(4)(d)l, Florida Statutes (1985). We affirm.
