know that it was driving at an extremely high rate of speed, at some point, the
tire blew out, and they were probably trying to make that turn from Germantown
onto Allegheny, lost control of the vehicle, and then ultimately ran up on the
sidewalk, striking and injuring those individuals,” Clark said.
