Ann COUGHLIN, Administratrix of the Estate of Thomas Coughlin, Deceased, Petitioner v. Ummu MASSAQUOI, Respondent.
    Supreme Court of Pennsylvania.
    Aug. 24, 2016.
   ORDER

PER CURIAM.

AND NOW, this 24th day of August, 2016, the Petition for Allowance of Appeal is GRANTED. The issue, as stated by Petitioner, is:

In a civil trial brought on behalf of a pedestrian who was killed by a motorist, is it reversible error where the defendant motorist admits evidence of the pedestrian’s uncorroborated post-mor-tem blood alcohol content (BAC) by way of a toxicology expert who merely explains the uncorroborated BAC in terms of how an equivalent BAC would render an “average” person unfit to cross the street?
