The tire came apart at 60 miles per hour on a clean open road (I-70 in frederick, md). I had it replaced and was thankful it wasn't the front tire as the driver was able to bring it to a stop along side the road. *ak( dot number: tire size: 235 75r15 )
While driving freeway speed, my rear left tire experienced tread separation causing me to lose control of my vehicle. It was noted that this tire was still completely inflated, only the tread was missing. A witness directly behind my vehicle watched the tread come off of my tire and hit her car. At the accident scene, a firefighter told me of the news special on cbs channel 2 news that aired july 25th. I broke my hand, broke a rib, and badly sprained my neck. I am now paying for a rental car. I am a single mother of three. I would like to be made aware of any updating information on the firestone tire investigation. I have lots of pictures of the tire, and I even have access to the tire (until they total my car - which may be soon) it is still inflated. It looks as if it was scalped. Thank you! *ak( dot number: )
