THE ACCIDENT HAPPENED WHILE I WAS DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY WITH LIGHT TRAFFIC TRAVELING AROUND 60 MPH. IT FIRST BEGAN WHEN I FELT AN UNBALANCE OF THE FRONT RIGHT TIRE. THE CAR SUDDENLY VEERED TO THE RIGHT REGARDLESS OF MY EFFORTS TO MAINTAIN CONTROL. MY CAR FISHTAILED FOR A MOMENTS AND ALMOST CAUSED ME TO CRASH INTO ANOTHER CAR. I HAD NO CONTROL OF THE CAR WHEN MY CAR CRASHED INTO THE WALL THAT LINED THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE FREEWAY. AFTER VISUALLY INSPECTING THE WHEEL, IT APPEARED THAT THE FRONT RIGHT RIM WAS CUT IN A HALF VERTICALLY AND ALL AROUND. IT WAS CUT IN A NEAR-PERFECT STRAIGHT LINE - SIMILAR TO WHAT A OPENED CAN LOOKS LIKE. THE TIRE REMAINED FULLY INTACT WITHOUT ANY DAMAGE. THE BODY SHOP MECHANICS TOLD US THAT THEY HAVE NEVER SEEN THE RIM CUT LIKE THAT BEFORE AND SAID THE ONLY EXPLANATION WOULD BE A DEFECT IN THE RIM. WE HAVE PICTURES AND CAN PROVIDE THEM UPON REQUEST. THE BODY SHOP MECHANICS AND INSURANCE ADJUSTERS ARE ALL CLUELESS TO HOW AND WHY THIS OCCURRED. PLEASE OPEN AN INVESTIGATION TO HELP US DETERMINE THE CAUSE. THE TOTAL ESTIMATE OF THE COSTS HAVE ESTIMATED TO BE AROUND $14000. *TR
