“I was leaving a military hospital after dropping off military people and turned left and drove about 200 yards when something happened to the steering and I couldn't steer the vehicle and the vehicle went to the right hitting a road side light pole. The right front tire was blown on the inside sidewall. I can't say that it had blown before or after the crash.”
