WRGMG..... stupid dumba$$ semi truck drivers who are transporting a front tire rim on the back of a flat deck and don't bother to secure the load!
we were heading back to kelowna this morning after an awesome trip to calgary (minus a few folks who don't know how to 4-way stop!
) and just after (west of) rogers pass we're coming down a hill, over a bridge and this freaking tire rim shoots off the back of a flatbed being hauled by a semi. i did everything i could but just couldn't avoid it - i was going right around 90 km/h and i'm assuming the semi (and the rim) were also going about 90.
it took out 2 tires, 2 rims, skid plate, gas tank, the plastic piece that's under my bumper and who knows what else - i'm just glad my wife and i are both fine.
the insane skid i went into after the rim hit me... at one point we were going sideways down the highway, passenger side first. the tow truck driver couldn't believe that the truck didn't flip and roll!
the rim that flew off the back of the semi's flatbed....
and a further WRGMG.... everyone stopped except the dickhead semi driver - nice!
