ECUA Truck Blows Tire, Rolls Into Nine Mile Road Underpass
October 21, 2021
An ECUA truck blew a tire and grazed an underpass on Nine Mile Road midday Thursday.
After the tire blowout, the truck rolled into the Highway 29 overpass at Nine Mile Road. The truck only grazed the underpass, and the driver was not injured, according to Nathalie Bowers, ECUA spokesperson. She said the truck will be back on the road tomorrow.
Escambia Fire Rescue responded to what was reported as a vehicle explosion. Firefighters cooled the truck and the recyclables cargo as a precaution due to overheating around the tire.
Witnesses described tire blowout as being extremely loud as it echoed from the underpass and rattled the adjacent area.

I wish I had that Action ticket that day.
Well, there does their safety bonus. Glad they’re okay.
Well someone is having a trashy day.
