R.I.P. drivers! They hit that bridge support so hard it completely destroyed the tractor to the point it looks like there never was a tractor. Side Note to all of you cars out there, this is why you never want to ride alongside of a semi because if a steer tire blows out, and you are on the side of the blow out you too are going along for the ride!!

Well, if a driver loses a steer tire, they have to speed up and counter steer within seconds of the explosion. The explosion is so loud and disorienting than an inexperienced driver may not know what happened. Those critical seconds lost can be the difference in regaining control or leaving the roadway.

Okay I’ve never driven a semi but I just commented on how semis get blowouts all the time and they don’t crash. That there’s always double tires so how could this be a blowout? And then your comment says STEER tire. And now I’m wondering what’s a steer tire? Are you talking like a front tire? Like a tire on the cab itself? I didn’t even think of that. There’s not double tires there is there? 😳 So if it WAS a blowout of a steer tire then was it preventable? Are tires supposed to be maintained & inspected by the company mechanics? (I know this happens in n cars all the time but those are personal vehicles that I doubt get scheduled inspections).

Everyone, Get used to seeing accidents like this. The feds, along with mega-carriers and crooked freight brokers, are transforming the trucking industry into minimum-wage work, and this will be the result as many owner-operators are forced to decide what repairs they will make on their trucks, as they can't afford to make all that are needed. Investigators are leaning towards a blown steer tire being the cause, and only 2 things cause a tire to blow: incorrect tire pressure, or the fact the tire is worn so badly, that simply running over a rock could puncture it.

@@jessicaanderson7885 The term 'blow out' is used incorrectly and rather loosely for tires! Usually, something that blows up or blows out is due to overpressure! For tires, there is no overpressure as the tire holds the air inside perfectly fine! Well within the design parameters of the tire. The only reason it deflates is because of a puncture! The air may escape slow or fast but it is never the less a deflation and not a blowout! For a blowout to occur, severe structure damage would have resulted to your vehicle - what exactly was the damage? Was the rim of the tire bent and damage beyond repair? Was the sheetmetal around the tire damaged due to the explosion? If not, then it was not a blow out because nothing blew!
