    Beat me to it!! Perhaps cover the interstate with rumble strips, slow the speed limit to 30mph. (Report this comment)

    The accident occurred just in front of me in the fast lane and appeared to be caused when a preceding loaded utility trailer blew a tire. Attempts to avoid the debris caused the initial contact, which was nowhere near an exit. (Traffic signal reference??) It is a credit to the safety structure of the cars that injuries were not worse.
