description: THE OWNER OF THE VEHICLE WAS TRAVELING IN THE LEFT LANE ON I-85 JUST NORTH OF ATLANTA. THE SPEED OF THE VEHICLE WAS 70 MPH. THE LEFT REAR TIRE OF THE VEHICLE MADE A NOISE THAT SOUNDED LIKE THE TREAD CAME OFF OF IT. THE TIRE BLEW A FEW SECONDS LATER. THIS CAUSED THE VEHICLE TO LOSE CONTROL. THE VEHICLE TRAVELED FROM THE LEFT LANE TO THE GUARD RAIL WHICH WAS ON THE RIGHT. THE VEHICLE HIT THE GUARD RAIL, CAUSING THE AIRBAGS TO DEPLOY, THEN IT JUMPED OVER THE GAURD RAIL. THE VEHICLE OVERTURNED SEVERAL TIMES AND HIT SEVERAL TREES. THE VEHICLE CAME TO REST IN A TREE APROXIMATELY 73 FROM WHERE IT ORIGINALLY STRUCK THE GUARDRAIL. THE DRIVER AND THE PASSENGER WHERE BOTH INJURED AND WERE TAKEN TO THE HOSPITAL. THE VEHICLE WAS DECLARED TO BE TOTALED BY AN INSURANCE ADJUSTER. *AK( DOT NUMBER: )
