We were on vacation and traveling the speed limit, 75, in pueblo, co when the rear passenger side tire blew. From what witnesses said they saw smoke coming from that tire before I lost control of the vehicle. We ended up going off the road on to a grassy median where we hit an incline, went airborne and then landed motor first and rolled for a good bit before the vehicle came to a stop. The airbags never deployed and from what the witnesses said, it seemed to have all started with the smoking tire. I did not realize that Bridgestone was made by Firestone before taking this drive from denton, tx to denver, co (our final destination). It was reported to the pueblo police department at the time of the accident. It occured on I-25 in pueblo, co. If any further information is needed, please contact me. The vehicle is still in pueblo for repairs.( dot number: Tire size: 16 )
