God that sucks. Tell me a cell phone wasn't involved.

I know there had to be with just the way it happened. Traffic starts moving and he hit the gas to get going. Then went back to texting or facebooking or whatever it was and not pay attention to the traffic, which just started moving and stopped.

Looks like the rim is running out some?? I'd remove the tire and have the tireman run the rim on the balancer by itself. If the camera in the video had been held more steady I could have known for sure about the rim. I just placed my mouse pointer on the edge of the rim while the video ran. But since the camera was moving a little it was hard to get a good reading.
The tire definitely has run out, but it could also be the axle???

I'm thinking that's what I'm going to have to do is get the wheel itself checked with the tire off. I can't imagine that the axle has runout but it's possible. They are new Moser and only have a few hundred miles on them. My engine isn't powerful enough to bend or twist them so it would have been a factory flaw if there is one, at least in my mind it would be.
