Wrecked Government Vehicle
The right rear tire had picked up a 2˝ inch bolt causing the steering wheel to start vibrating. The tire blew shooting the operator across the passing lane and into the median. In panic, the operator steered the wheel in hopes to keep it on the road long enough to slow down to a stop, but instead, it flipped 2˝ times into the median. The injuries sustained were minor; broken thumb, a black eye, a small burn (like a carpet burn) to the face, along with back and neck issues. |
