Wheel Rim problem #1

I had a flat tire on h1 freeway westbound between kaonohi & pearl city exit where the h1 widening construction is on progress just before 10:00 am on 2/2/06. There are several large size gravels on the far left lane I was driving. By the time I spotted, it was too late to change the lane fast enough due to the vehicle next to me in heavy traffic. My left front tire & rim got hit by one of gravels & exploded I had aaa to change my spare & needed to purchase another rim & tire cost me $450.
