I was on Three Notch rd., throughout the day. I can’t imagine how this can happen, speed, drugs/alcohol, recklessness, swerving to miss a Crack head?? I just can’t imagine, hopefully no innocent people were injured, or worse.
Perhaps someone needs remedial training, I just don’t get it. ..
Tire blew out on a heavy wrecker. Totally sober and an expert driver.
Ignorance seems to be a sad norm.
That’s a straight & open road, so what happened? Look at those skid marks.
watched it happen from the other side of the road, poor man’s tire blew out!
Clear weather, broad daylight, straight road…I’m sure there is a perfectly logical explanation as to why this truck is on its side on a divided FOUR LANE Hwy…
If it’s true. Steer tire blew… your along for a hell of a ride at that point
Right front tire blew out
Right front tire blew. Driver did what they could and no one was injured. Sure are quick to blame without information.
