Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: I was traveling on i-10 eastbound near tallahassee, fl going approximately 70 mph when my car briefly shook/vibrated. i let off the gas perplexed when i heard what sounded like an explosion. my car careened to the left and with a death grip on the steering wheel, i tried to control the vehicle. i moved back and forth across the 2 lanes of interstate at least twice before gaining control. parts of tire and plastic were flying behind me. i pulled over to the side of the road at mile marker 193. it took a few minutes for me to get my composure. i was crying, shaking and very scared. when i felt calm and safe enough to get out of the vehicle, i saw that my tire had completely separated but was not even flat. the force was so great, it ripped out all my tire guard, it tore my fender, my bumper was touching the ground and i could see pieces of debris on the interstate. *tr
