My wife and I were enroute to columbus oh from newbury ma. Approximately 4 hours into the trip on rt 84 in ludington, n.y. A horrendous bang from the rear. I immediately pulled to the side of the interstate to investigate. I found a 3 1/2 inch hole in the passenger inside rear duel on the outside wall. I limped to the next exit after the highway patrols suggestion to a hess gas station and called good sam's road service. All went well from there.
