While driving down freeway at 70 mph my left rear tire violently blew out. I gained control of the car and was able to make it over to shoulder. Tire was absolutely shredded to pieces. I have never seen anything like it. There was no previous evidence of excessive wear on the tire, and there were no foreign objects in road or in tire. I was barely able to maintain control when the tire exploded and as I crossed over lanes to the shoulder. This tire could have caused a serious accident and deaths.( dot number: )
