Alright i'll try and make the story short....
So I was driving on the 13 today around 2pm and all of a sudden I felt a strong vibration in my steering wheel so I slowed down to 50-60 km/h and went into the slow lane. Then a couple of seconds later, right before the tunnel I hear a loud boom and the whole front left side of my car dropped down. I thought that my tire blew or something so I began to pull over to the side, and as I pulled over to the side I looked to my left and saw my whole tire bouncing right beside me.
Probably the most ****ed up shit that ever happened to me while driving...luckily no other cars were involved in this and my wheel didn't hit another car. I was in shock and could barely dial my home phone number, I still am kinda in shock. There was a garbage truck behind me and the guy was nice enough to pull over in front of me and pick up my tire which was in another lane. Ambulance came after...then the tow truck...the flatbed tow truck was gonna rip my whole front end off cause the car was too low...but I ended up making him remove my front lip. I'm so glad everything went well and no one got hurt! Out of all the ways this incident could of happened, i'm glad it happened this way. I'm just imagining what would of happened if all of this happened in the tunnel instead of literally right before the tunnel. Anyways the situation could have been worst, but luckily it wasn't.
I have no idea what happened but it looks to me that 1 bolt was cracked and it sheard off the other bolts/threads...maybe you guys can help me figure out what happened? Thanks
Here are the pics:
I'll need a new fender.....what else?
Here's the close-up on the bolts that broke...
