| Description of the problem | I was on i-35 in mo just north of cameron heading toward winston. About half way between winston and cameron i hit a bump in the road. The road is some what rough due to truck traffic. When i hit the bump the front of the truck became loose violently shaking and causing complete loss of control of the vehicle. It felt as if i were running over a series of speed bumps. I began to slow down immediately. As i was slowing down the truck still shaking vigorously i reclaimed control of the vehicle easing it to the shoulder and stopping. Once stopped i began on the road again and seemed to be fine. |
