A Beaumont woman survived a wheel from an 18 wheeler smashing through her windshield on Interstate 10 outside of Houston.
Folks reported seeing a wobbly wheel on a tanker truck that came off, bounced around, then struck the woman's car going in the opposite direction. The accident totaled the car.
The trucker pulled over and was interviewed by police. The woman was taken to the hospital for tests and was visibly shaken up according to reports.
As previously reported, truck drivers and their companies are legally responsible for the dangerous condition of a rig, like a wheel coming off, that causes a truck accident. The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations are designed to protect the public and improve truck safety by imposing minimum safety standards truck drivers and trucking companies must follow.
