Another Accident
I was on my way home on the freeway and a truck
towing an overloaded trailer with little tiny tires merged just ahead of me. He
was going very slowly, and when he did get in my lane fully I could see things
weren't going to go well.
The left tire on the trailer started to smoke. I closed up my vents so I wouldn't get the wonderful burnt rubber smell in my head all night. Then the sparks started to fly as the frame of the trailer would clip the rim of the tire. Eventually the tire blew and he pulled over safely.
This all happened in about a half (maybe three quarters) of a mile. You'd kind guess he would have known how heavy he was before he even got on the freeway, but sometimes you gotta learn the hard way.
