The car started a fishtail counter-clockwise spin and crossed the third and the fourth lanes (i.e., the far left lanes) before smashing into the concrete median, separating my Southbound lanes from the opposing traffic lanes. I have kept both the tire and rim in my garage. How was your safety or the safety of others put at risk? As I started sliding or spinning, I cannot honestly say, whether or not I hit the brakes or can really describe the spinning that occurred. As the rim of blowout tire was evenly torn up on its outer edge, I know that the tire was turning. All I can recall is hearing the car hit the…”
