Please advise of the below on Res ipsa loquitur.

Dan's car crashes into a toll booth on the highway in the middle of the night, and severely injuries Pamela, the toll booth vendor, who did not see Dan's car coming towards her. There was no one else on the road to witness the crash.

Could res ipsa loquitur be used in this situation? Why or why not?

Is there any other factual information that would be necessary to establish that res ipsa loquitur applies?
