“On may 21, 2002 while driving at the speed of approximately 30 miles per hour my two right bridgestone bueler h/t d689 tires blew out. As a result of that the vehicle went out of control and collided with the ground. The tires were replaced but it was then determined that a brand new frame was needed as a result of the collsion with the ground. Police did report to the scene and determined that there was no debris in the road to cause the blow out. I do have that police report. The car is still in the shop. It has been in the shop for almost half a year. Dt”

“I sent a description of the accident the odi number is 769218. Just in case you didn't get it I'll go over the details again. On may 21, 2002 my two right tires blew out while I was going approximately 30 MPH. As a result of the blow out my car collided with the ground and went out of control. Luckily there were no fatalities. Also it was determined that a brand new frame was needed because the collision was so bad. Police did report to the scene and could find no debris in the road to cause the blow out. My car is still in the shop. It has been there since may 21, 2002. Thank you dt”
