blown tire
Roadside emergency cause
A blown tire is a tire that has suddenly lost air pressure, typically from a puncture, impact damage, or structural failure.
The blowout often happens at speed with a loud bang, making vehicle control difficult.
We pulled over after the blown tire sent us swerving across the lane.
Also called a flat, though a flat may lose air gradually rather than explosively.
