About 10 years ago,a friend of mine that works for NEMF was heading back to the Rochester NY terminal from the southern tier.
Suddenly with no warning a left steer wheel broke off,dropping the spindle of his day cab down into the asphalt.
As he watched in horror as it ran across the median jumped high in the air,then drove through a southbound cars windshield.
It was instant death for that driver fortunately the lone occupant.
After the investigation it was ruled non-chargeable, an act of God,as there was noway anyone could have detected the defect.
However it is something my friend really felt dad about,something he will never forget.
