I remember the front tire exploding on an Accord that was in the lane next to me.

I had something similar happen to me about three years ago. My car didn't stop very well with three wheels though so I ended up running a light and almost got t-boned by a car. My rim and tire that took a dump almost hit a pedestrian as well. What a nightmare?

It's just like you said though "it could have been worse".

Same thing happend to me last year. Luckily I was at a stopsign. The LCA poped out of the knuckly and ripped the kunckly off tire and all. Fixed it all myself. Then I totaled that car 4 months later.
