Rear wheels have fallen off Maryland Transit Administration buses at least 16 times since August in a series of accidents that have baffled MTA officials, resulted in injury claims from bus drivers and passengers, and imperiled pedestrians and motorists in the path of the 200- pound wheels.
I always wonder about local politics when I see something like this... [jenett.radio]
One day we were driving home(south) on Hwy. 169 and ahead of us a dual real wheel of a truck or trailer of some sort feel off a vechile going north. I saw the wheel bounce once on the north bound side, bounce again in front of my van and then it came down and hit the two cars behind us. I had the cruise control on at the time and kept going, there wasn't a car behind us for a long time. It really stopped traffic. Had I not had the cruise on I may have slowed down and been the one that got hit, you never know in those situations. I never did hear any more about it.
