    Had a coworker who was riding a motorcycle on the highway by a semi when the tire next to her blew out. She ended up dropping the bike and sliding along the road. Fortunately she was covered head to toe in protective gear, but it’s still amazing that she wasn’t seriously injured.

      I know someone who was in a car next to a semi when the tire blew. It instantly triggered the airbags, the force dented the passenger side door inwards and shattered the window. The car was a total financial loss.
