“My wife was driving approximately 45mph in fall river when all of a sudden we heard a large bang underneath the vehicle, upon looking in the rear mirror I noticed a large steel item shoot out from underneath the vehicle sliding fast behind the vehicle with sparks noticed as it was dark, and into oncoming traffic which had to swerve to avoid an accident and avoid the propelled steel leaf spring. No accident occurred, leaf spring was recovered from the road after pulling vehicle over and noted it came from right rear of vehicle where it had snapped off. …”
