I don't have to imagine I saw it several years ago in tennessee - a motorcycle hit a tread and it flew into the air and ejected the driver and passenger the tread hit the car behind it in the windshield/hood causing that driver to slam on their breaks, causing the next car to slam into the rear of that car.... Causing the semi truck behind them both to slam into them both and jackknife.
I was a few car lengths behind the motorcycle two lanes over to the left when it crashed and barley avoided running over the driver and passenger as they were spinning and flopping down the highway. Others were not as lucky as me.
My children were in then car and saw most of it.

I guess I'm just struggling to visualize one of these killing a person or crashing a car...
I suppose if a perfect storm arose where the skin was sucked up into your wheel well...but even then...the debris couldn't be enough to stop your tire from spinning...  |
