Hello to everyone on this forum,
I am making a post in hope that some thoughts or ideas (or even clues) may emerge in my quest for the identity of a truck which lost a set of tandem wheels on the turnpike on Tuesday night August 31st, 2010 approx 10:55 pm.
I was heading Eastbound on the PA turnpike and was approximately 2 miles from the Breezewood exit, when a set of tandem wheels from an 18 wheeler heading the opposite direction (west) on the turnpike broke free from the truck and climbed the jersey barrier and hit me nearly head on.
The accident resulted in the total loss of my car, and more significantly, a serious break to my left Femur. I was life-flighted to the hospital where I received surgery the next day, and spent 6 nights in the hospital post operation.
The tires were recovered and the only info I have on them is that one was a Bridgestone, and one was a Michelin. Also, the tires do display DOT #'s but I'm not sure how helpful these will be.
Any ideas, thoughts, or possible eye witness accounts of a truck traveling with a missing set of tandems would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance for your help,
Mark
