My wife and I were traveling West on the interstate in the right lane at app. 75 mph when we heard a strange sound coming from the rear right tire. At that moment, I could feel the back end of the vehicle sliding out from under us to the right, turning the vehicle to the left toward the center median. We went into the median and the vehicle began to roll. After rolling app. 3 complete times, we ended up facing East in the right lane of eastbound traffic - right side up. Miraculously, no other vehicles were involved in the accident. My wife escaped with several bumps and bruises and I had cuts and scrapes which required stitches. Both of us were wearing seat belts at the time of the accident, which is the primary reason we were not more severely injured or killed. We were both taken to the hospital via ambulance for X-rays, bandages, and stitches and released on the same day.( dot number: )
