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?
