That funny, I see this trash on the roads around the US all the time
and I have rarely ever hit any of it. I have have also been close to
3 of these trucks when these tires have failed, the sound of the
explosion can scare the hell out of you. but I was all ways able to
avoid trash. In case you did not know most if not all state DOTs
send out road crews to clean up this trash on a regular bases. As for
for causing a few crash and or deaths, never herd of any cases, have
you
