Brent Carlson was driving home in his Hyundai Genesis Wednesday night from Signature Training Studios, where he is a personal trainer in Daphne, when he noticed something on Interstate 10 westbound near the Dauphin Island Parkway exit.
Initially, Carlson thought it was just trash in the road. He said he didn’t have time to avoid it and drove over it.
‘It sounded like a shotgun’
Brent Carlson said it quickly became apparent that this road debris was unlike any other he experienced.
“I go over it, and it sounded like a shotgun went off in the back of my car, which then, of course, I hear the car jump up and down, and so my assumption is I just destroyed my tire, my back tire,” he said.
