On the way to the cottage this weekend, on highway 11, there was a Chevy Avalanche in front of me in the hammer lane pulling a trailer with some lawn equipment on it. I think a mower and a tiller.
He pulls into the slower lane and as I'm about to accelerate to get by him........
KABOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
His right trailer tire goes off like a GRENADE!
It bent the wheel well, blew the tail light clear off the trailer and large chunks of rubber as well as plastic from the trailer light flew everywhere.
I thought I avoided everything (I was on the brakes hard) but when we got to the cottage, my wife pointed out a large rubber streak up the left side of the hood.
I was able to use a damp shammy and gently rub it off. The car had been clayed and waxed the day before. No scratches, thank God!
Anybody else every have this happen? I couldn't believe the noise, and the violence with which it happened. The trailer literally jumped in the air on that side, then smashed into the ground. It fishtailed a bit, but he was able to keep it under control and took the next exit.
