Blowout

Cruising at 120 km/hour, the tire of our minivan blew. The rubber flew up and shattered the passenger mirror. Carina held the wheel tightly and safely pulled us off the road. At the time i didn't realize just how close we came to a serious accident. Later in our trip, i met a woman who was also going 120 when her front tire blew. She wasn't able to steady her wheel and the car jerked off the road and over the bank. Looking at the wreck later, they calculated it rolled bonnet over boot 3 times before skidding to a stop. Seatbelts saved every life. Needless to say, we buckled up for the rest of our trip!
