Catmae : That's why they tell cars not to ride around trucks no matter what kind of truck it is.
Floyd Catmae : I was on BW8 heading towards Wilson Rd when a tire flew and bounced through the air one car in front of me. No idea where it came from.

eighteen : Several years ago, this happened on BW8 right before the Aldine Westfield exit. Small pick-up was on the inside lane and a truck on the Westbound side of BW8 had a tire fly out of the back. It flew into the truck windshield and killed the driver. I was caught in that traffic coming home from work one afternoon.

Catmae : If me or the driver in front of me weren't paying attention... hard to imagine what could've happened. We were in the far left-hand lane.

eighteen : I'm trying to find the news story, but can't seem to find it. I can still see that little red truck though. When something is flying at you from the other side of the freeway, how do you avoid it? You are very lucky!!!

Catmae : I think it's impossible. So sorry that happened to your friend. If we were a split second faster or that tire a split second later, SMH.
Catmae : Oh man, that's terrible! I've heard stories similar... sheet metal, saw blades, pipe etc. but never have had it hit that close to home. You just never know, but I don't trust any of those yahoos on the road, hauling or not.
Floyd : It is so infuriating--people that won't secure their loads properly. « Back to Chat
