“On september 22, 2000 at about 9:00 p.m. I was on I-10 westbound about 15 miles east of san antonio city limits. My driver rear side firehawk blew-out at a speed of about 65 m/p/h. My truck swirved slightly but I managed to pull it on the shoulder. I came out and discovered that the tire's whole tread had completely came off, this blow-out also managed to break my driver's side running board. I changed tires and proceeded to laredo, tx, my destination. …”
