Windshield full of tractor trailer
So we updated our blowout experience but here we go again.
We're beating it westbound on I40 in New Mexico about MM 89 - DW is just about asleep. Suddenly she is wide awake as I hit the brakes and start pulling onto the shoulder. She looked up and saw what I saw - an eastbound tractor trailer running off the road, into the median in a huge cloud of dust about 2/10s of mile from us. I had visions of rig crossing over the median and coming straight at us. Again, blessings abounded for us. The tractor came to a fast halt still upright with the trailer rolled onto it's side and about 1/10 of mile from us. This is in a 75 MPH stretch of highway. Boogity Boogity!!
Not sure what caused the problem - but at 70-75 MPH it is quick solution.
