Defendant, David Lee Richards, is an adult individual residing at 21497 Shawville, Frenchville Highway, Clearfield, Clearfield County, Pennsylvania 16830. 3. The events and occurrences hereinafter related took place between 2:00 a.m and 4:00 a.m. on April 30, 2006 at 125 North Washington Street in the borough of Shippensburg, Cumberland County, Pennsylvania 17257. 4. At the time and place aforesaid, the Plaintiffs were owners of a building situate on the side of the aforesaid North Washington Street and known as 125 North Washington Street. 5. At the time and place aforesaid, the Defendant was the operator of a 2000 Mazda, property of one, Kevin Dykes, and was operating said vehicle on the aforesaid North Washington Street and in an alley alongside the aforesaid 125 North Washington Street. 6. At the time and place aforesaid, the Defendant operated the vehicle of Kevin Dykes in such fashion as to cause it to impact and rake the side of the Plaintiffs' building abutting the alley, resulting in damages to the brickwork and siding thereof and the chainlink fence to the rear of the property. 7. The aforesaid damages were caused solely by the negligence, carelessness and recklessness of the Defendant in that he: a. Operated the vehicle at a speed excessive for the conditions then and there prevailing upon the roadway; b. Failed to keep his vehicle under control; c. Failed to keep a careful and prudent lookout for the property of the Plaintiffs; d.
