I WAS DRIVING ON A FREEWAY WHEN LARGE PIECES OF TIRE STARTING FLYING IN THE ROAD FROM A SEMI-TRUCK. SEVERAL VEHICLES WERE ATTEMPTING TO AVOID BEING STRUCK, WHEN A LARGE PIECE FLEW UP AND HIT UNDER MY CAR. THE OUTCOME WAS A HOLE IN MY GAS TANK WHICH THEN PROCEEDED TO LEAK FUEL ONTO THE HIGHWAY. I HAD TO PULL OVER DUE TO THE DAMAGE. I UNDERSTAND THIS IS CONSIDERED "ACTIVE DAMAGE" AND SHOULD NOT HAVE OCCURRED DUE TO SAFETY STANDARDS THAT SHOULD BE IN PLACE. I WAS THANKFUL THERE WERE NO SPARKS IN THE IMMEDIATE VICINITY OR I WOULD NOT BE HERE NOW.
