2015: “On 8/29/17 around 11:20 - 11:30am, I was driving on n270 just off from hov lane from s495 near montrose exit(little bit before), some metallic round wheel type with sharp edges around flew over from s270. I tried to avoid it by swerve my car but it must have landed below my car and scratched underneath which caused my car making weird sound plus burning gasoline smell. I didn't see my tire pressure gaze change so I went into local lane from falls road to get to my home. My car was not steering properly and I can smell gasoline even from closed windows. …”
