For the second time in two months, one of Christina Arzapalo's tires on her car blew out while driving north-bound on I-95.
The first time, it was her front left tire.
This is a photo of Arzapalo's tire after it exploded. It also shows the damage it has done to the car, affectionately named Cupcake.Yesterday it was her front left tire.
Yesterday's tire explosion caused damage to Arzapalo's hood, tire and headlight. It also tore off a long portion of the car's body on the right side. When the tire itself exploded, the rubber whipped around so fast and ended up being the cause of the damage. This is an issue because many people are going to be traveling to see their families over the holiday break, and it is very important to get your vehicles checked before hitting the road. Arzapalo has had had two very close calls in the last two months, and now she knows it's time to get rid of the cheap tires that came with her car and pay the big bucks for the expensive, but safe tires.
Please get your cars checked before traveling this holiday season. She has been spared not only once, but twice, while driving at a high speed on the highway. Don't let it happen to you. It's very scary and we wouldn't want anyone else to be hurt by something they could have prevented.
Check the air in your tires, and the fluids in your car. It's so much better to be safe than sorry!
