Proxes ST II

I WAS TRAVELING SOUTH ON I95 ABOUT A MILE FORM EXIT 89 IN CT. I LOST THE TREAD OF THE REAR DRIVERS SIDE TIRE. FROM THE TIME I NOTICED THE ROAD FEELING A LITTLE ROUGH TO REALIZING THAT I HAD WHAT I THOUGHT WAS A BLOWOUT TOOK MAYBE 10-15 SECONDS. (ONCE I EXITED THE CAR I WAS SURPRISED THE ENTIRE TIRE HAD SEPARATED AT BOTH SIDEWALLS.) I FELT I WAS REAL LUCKY TO HAVE ESCAPED HAVING AN ACCIDENT OR INJURY AS WHEN THE TIRE CAME OFF I HAD LITTLE CONTROL OF THE CAR AS IT HEADED RIGHT TOWARD THE GUARDRAIL THEN BACK LEFT CROSSING THE INTO THE HIGH SPEED LANE BEFORE FINALLY COMING TO A STOP.
