fast for the conditions and lost control of his vehicle causing a collision between his vehicle and
the vehicle that Plaintiff, Velma Miller was traveling in.
8. The foregoing collision and all of the injuries and damages set forth hereinafter
suffered by Plaintiffs, Velma Miller and Gerald Miller, are the direct and proximate result of the

a. In operating his vehicle at an excessive rate of speed under the
circumstances, and/or without due regard to road and/or weather
conditions;
