Re: wheels come off - speed doubles?

For those who missed the truck tire article, I happened to have looked at
it and it was still in my browser window....


> North Carolina Highway Patrol troopers are looking for a truck driver who
lost two large tires Wednesday.
> The tires are wedged into the wall of Sampson County home, destroying the
bedroom they flew into.
> Newton Grove police believe the truck was  speeding, possible going 55 in
a 35 mph zone,
> when the extra wheels came off a trailer, barreling into the house at 110
miles per hour.
> "As they come off, it doubles in speed," said Officer John Wilson of the
Newton Grove Police Department.
> "The tires  had come off the trailer, through a  field, over a road,
through the yard and into the residence."
> No one was inside at the time, however a relative watched from the garden.
>
> The truck did not stop.
>
> Troopers are using numbers on the tires to find the driver, who they said
will be charged with hit and run.
