On april 25, 2003, i was driving to kansas city, mo. from tulsa, ok. on i-44. pursuant to the posted speed limit, i was travelling at or near 75 m.p.h. there was only myself and my dog in the car. suddenly, there was a loud noise from the back of my car, a 1993 ford bronco. actually, it sounded more like an explosion. the car immedeatly went up on two wheels towards a barricade. i tried to correct it and lost control the other direction. the dog, a one hundred pound lab, was thrown into the front seat. i thought i was going to get killed and shut my eyes. when i opened them, i was perpindicular to traffic on the interstate. i regained my composure and pulled to the side of the road. i got out to investigate the anamoly and found a firestone wilderness at, size: 31x10.5, dot #vd60 aw3 497. with the tread 3/4 detached. the muffler was smashed, the wheel well was shoved into the back seat well past the point where it was when i had last observed it. the electrical system (i.e. brake lights and tail lights) was inoperable. i put a spare on the car and had it changed a few harrowing hours later after driving on the shoulder for some time at 25 m.p.h. as i had no idea what type of structural damage may have occured. i did wait for a state trooper for some time but none showed. i still maintain possession of the tire.  view
