Kissing the wall - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

For the first time in 35 years the truck had an accident

The front passenger tire blew out at 55 MPH on I-215 SB one mile before the 6200 S exit in Salt Lake City. We were in the right lane. After it blew I struggled to keep it going straight...did a decent job but the truck was stronger than me. Only kissed the concrete Jersey barrier for 125 feet. The Jersey barrier is a smoother surface to hit as it sits directly in front of one of those Decorative 12 foot sound barrier walls. So probably doing about 25 when hit the wall. Thank goodness the barrier was there or we may have been down over an embankment.

Just me and my boy...completely OK.
