“Car driven normally on cold, clear night. Road condition was fair (dry from centerline to travel lane midpoint w/ hard-packed snow from there to shoulder). Experienced a vibration, squealing noise & slight pull to right. Stopped to investigate possibility of blown tire. Found nothing wrong after visual inspection, so resumed driving. Approx. 15s later, squealing, vibration & sensation of pulling to right returned, then car would not respond to throttle inputs & slowed from 40 to 25mph. Car then shuddered violently w/ loud screeching noise, snapped to right & lost control. …”
