Truck Tire Blowout Nearly Causes Major Accident

A truck suffered a sudden tire blowout that violently hurled the heavy vehicle into the opposite lane and down into a ditch. Had the rupture occurred just a moment earlier, its path would have ended in a direct collision with oncoming vans.

The incident starkly illustrates the peril that arises when a multi-ton load loses stability on the road. A tire’s abrupt failure—something no routine inspection can fully predict—can in an instant transform an ordinary traffic situation into a question of survival.
