Description of the problem | As i was driving down i-459, there was a large piece of a 18 wheeler tire going across the interstate. The car in front of me in the other lane swerved to miss the tire which knocked it directly in front of me. I had no choice but to go over it. Immediately after i rolled over it my vehicle began to overheat. I stopped my car and had to call a tow service to come and pick my vehicle up to be serviced. I had a busted radiator, condensor, and radiator bracket. |
