ON 3/1100 AT ABOUT 6:35PM, I WAS COMING FROM DALLAS TO HOUSTON.JUST BEFORE WYLLIS MY CAR WENT TOTALLY OUT OF CONTROL AFTER MY RIGHT FRONT TIRE WENT TO PIECES. ACCORDING TO WITNESSES,MY CAR WAS ALL OVER BOTH HIGHWAYS,ALMOST BEEN KILLED BY TWO 18 WHEELERS AND ALTIMATELY CRASHING ON A GUARD ON THE SOUTH DIRECTION.I LOST CONSCIENCE AND WHEN I CAME TO I SAW ALOT OF PEOPLE OVER ME AND THEN TAKEN TO THE FIRST EMERGENCY.AFTER THAT I WAS SENT TO ANOTHER HOSPITAL EMERGENCY & AFTER 3 DAYS IN THE INTENSIVE CARE I WAS IN A ROOM WHERE I STAYED ABOUT 9 DAYS.I SUSTAINED A FRACTURED NECK,OPEN SCAL,BROKEN RIGHT-SHOULDER,KNEE AND A VERY BRUISED & SWOLLEN LEFT WRIST BUT NOT BROKEN.GIVEN THE FACTS (WHICH CAN ALL BE SUBSTANTIATED BY MY DEALER'S RECORDS) THE MAINTENANCE OF MY CAR AND TIRES WERE UP TO THE MINUTE.WE WERE TOLD NOTHING WAS LEFT FROM THE TIRE AND THE PICTURES TAKEN SHOW THE BEAR WELL OF THE TIRE ALL TWISTED.THERE HAS NEVER BEEN ANY DOUBT IN MY MIND THAT I CAME VERY CLOSE TO BEEN KILLED,AS A RESULT OF A BAD TIRE.I CONTACTED FIRESTONE AND THROUGH AGENTS I WAS TOLD THAT I HAD NO CLAIM SINCE I DID NOT HAVE THE TIRE. *AK (TIRESIZE: P215/60R15)( DOT NUMBER: TIRE SIZE: P215/60R15 )
