Description of the problem | Driving on interstate 295s in washington dc around 11:30pm on dec 28th 2008. All of a sudden i hear a loud bang and immediately loss control of vehicle. I swerved to the right shoulder of the interstate and stopped the vehicle. Upon inspecting vehicle i noticed my drivers side front and rear tire was flat. With the assistance of a police officer i proceeded to change the tires with a spare and another tire my family member brought from home. This is when i noticed that the rear rim was completely split and the inside ring was resting on the break assembly. Then i noticed the front rim had similar damage in that it was completely split around the inside diameter of the rim. |
