Four Flat tires... 16 Cars disabled... what a night.

completely Off Topic, but Christ Almighty! I'm the passenger...

Driving home from a night out in Providence (RI) going through the S curves of Interstate 95/195 heading out of the city. Slam, bam, dead center in the middle lane; spanning almost two lanes, a huge metal/aluminum frame, a giant square about 4 inches thick.. no way to avoid it. We hit doing about 50 MPH. Fortunately no one around us... all 4 tire hit the metal, pop, pop, pop, pop. crunching on rims... my buddy never lost control and didnt panic, managed to pull over barely to a sliver of a breakdown lane. Wheels are mangled, under carriage is a mess....

We Watch in horror/amusement as car after car after car hit this huge chunk of twisted metal.... 16 in all before police and city workers arrive to remove it. Reports of several other giant pieces of metal further up the road. No clue to where its from.

Waited forever for the damn tow truck. 16 Cars wrecked, we by far were the worst one. Fortunately not one injury. Finally got home 3 hours later.

Hey, at least the Indians won!

oy!

    You are very fortunate that no one was seriously injured, especially late at night.

    So basically my kid won't be able to go to college, but at least I'll have a set where the three most expensive cards are of a player I despise ~ CDsNuts

    unfortunate, but you can replace the tires at least no one got hurt and by the sounds of that it could have been very bad

    Wonder if police detectives can trace a large piece of metal such at that? I would imagine they could and at least get the car repair money back and possible other damages as well. Maybe it goes without saying the police are working on it.
