Woman Dies Following Tire Blowout Rollover Accident on US 93 Near Darby, Montana

Darby, MT –  A woman has died after her vehicle rolled over. The incident happened Saturday afternoon when the woman was driving southbound on US 93.

Authorities say her vehicle suffered a tire blowout, causing it to veer off the right side of the roadway. The vehicle began to slide, rotating clockwise, before it struck a driveway culvert, rolled onto the driver’s side, and collided with two trees and a fence before coming to a stop.

The woman was transported to a local hospital, where she later died from her injuries.

Unexpected reasons sometimes cause tire blowouts

Tire blowout crashes leave many questions unanswered. The failed tire answers these questions. The tire tells professionals what caused the tire to fail and who is responsible. Many tire failure accidents are not simply bad luck. They are caused by tire repair shops that don’t do their job correctly or tire manufacturers that produce damaged or defective tires.

A tire that fails because of a defect will show signs of poor bonding or sloppy construction. Poor bonding is seen when a tire has smooth patches throughout its layers. It develops when the internal parts of a tire rub back and forth during use.  Sloppy construction is seen when internal parts of a tire are not properly aligned, creating weak points that are more likely to fail. A tire manufacturer breaches its duty when it produces a defective tire that fails and causes injury.

Like tire manufacturers, tire repair shops are also responsible for their misdeeds. Tire repair shops that repair a tire incorrectly or install a tire that is not designed for the crashed vehicle may have some fault in the accident.

Uncovering the truth following a fatal crash provides families with answers and protects future motorists from dangerous companies and drivers. Our hope is the family here receives the professional help they need to find answers and closure during this difficult time of grief.
