| Low driver side tire indicator sounded a few hours prior to accident where vehicle flipped over 4 times 70-80 feet end over end bounced off a telephone pole then landed in the opposite lane back wards. the low tire indicator had gone off twice to which the tire was taken to the station to be refilled up to air pressure as recommended by the service manual. driving speed was close to 50 mph on a slightly rural road with not many turns mostly straightaways. just coming out of a small right turn the tire must have lost air jerked the steering causing the vehicle to roll over end over end cartwheeling and landing in 4 spots according to tire marks on the road itself each double lined mark was on the center line of the road about 70-80 feet apart before hitting the pole and bouncing the vehicle into the opposite lane facing the other direction. where upon aide of others it could not be restarted and the drivers side tire was completely unusable. the vehicle broke out 3 windows and the windshield is wasted, can be started but grinds when put in gear, can not be driven even after tire replacement. *tr | |||
