Consumer Description

MY SON NOTICED THE REAR DRIVERS TIRE NOT FEELING GOOD AS HE TRAVELED ON I-80 OUTSIDE OF LINCOLN, NE. HE STARTED LOOSING CONTROL AND EVENTUALLY LOST CONTROL, THE CAR ROLLED SEVERAL TIMES AND CAME TO REST UPSIDE DOWN. HE WAS STILL BUCKLED IN THE SEAT. AFTER LOOKING OVER THE CAR, THE REAR TIRES WERE BROKEN OFF THE CAR. THE LUG NUTS STILL ATTACHED TO THE TIRE. HE THINKS THE DRIVERS REAR TIRE CAME OFF FIRST AND THAT WAS WHAT STARTED THE CAR OUT OF CONTROL. THE OTHER REAR TIRE WAS ALSO OFF AFTER HE CAME TO REST SO HE IS NOT SURE WHEN THAT CAME OFF DURING THE CRASH. THE CAR IS A TOTAL LOSS. GEICO IS INVESTIGATING THE CAR TO SEE IF THEY CAN DETERMINE WHAT TOOK PLACE. THIS JUST HAPPENED ON 12/16/2016.
