No, but he certainly seems to have been driving one.

But also, just not speeding faster than you should would help too.

OR, you can just turn into the path of a granite truck. That's always an alternative...........

The truck driver remained unharmed. Others told the Hyundai was speeding also. The motorist was split in half as his upper half was ejected from the vehicle and his legs were still inside the car.

The trucker is detained by police for research purposes.

Cheers for the info.

Genuinely curious: Does it matter if the vehicle is front or rear wheel drive (or all wheel drive), with respect to the blown tyre, to the direction that the vehicle will turn?
