Claimant brought this action to recover for damage to his 1995 Ford 150 pick-up truck, which occurred on July 1, 1996, on Interstate 64 westbound near Sandstone.

The parties agreed to stipulate that the respondent was negligent, and the claimant submitted an invoice in the amount of $73.14, the cost of replacement of the tire.

In view of the foregoing, the Court makes an award to claimant in the amount of $73.14.

Award of $73.14.
