“Here's what happened on 7-26-09 I was on my way back to fort worth from austin, tx from a trade show when about 3:00 pm on hwy I-35e 19 miles south of waco tx the I felt a sudden vibration and thumping in the front. I started to slow down to get off the road to check it out when front left tire blew out, causing the truck to severely veer to the left trying my best to keep the truck from rolling, then hitting the concrete guard rail which deflected the truck enough to slide down the barrier for about two hundred feet till it stopped. I felt lucky to be alive. …”
