Blowout on interstate
We had a curb side tire blow on our previous 5er while on I45 south of OK City. Had smoke coming from tire so had to pull to shoulder. I immediately got the wife out of the vehicle (we didn't have the dog at the time), grabbed the fire extinguisher, and we got in the grass up the embankment and behind the rig. The tire had stopped smoking by then.
I called the OK Highway Patrol and waited for them arrive. Once there I had the trooper turn on his emergency lights up the road from us. At that point I was comfortable enough to change the tire.
After the tire was changed, the trooper helped us get back into traffic safely.
Hats off and a big thanks to OHP!
Dave
