My daughter was driving at the speed limit on highway 94 in san diego, when the rear right tire exploded at approximately 1:45 p. M. The blowout caused extensive damage to the right side door, rear right panel and rear bumper. The car went into a 360 spin in the fast lane and median of the freeway. The car was taken to a&c paint and body at 7083 broadway, lemon grove, CA at the request of my daughter's insurance agency - topa insurance. The obvious damage was repaired. However after picking the car up, my daughter noticed a shimy in the front end of the car. There is some sort of apparent damage to the front end that was not detected by the body shop. Additionally, the day after picking the car up she noticed that the rear left tire is also badly damaged, probably from the car spinning during the accident. The old tire was completely shreaded, so there is no old part available for inspection. I had her park the car until we can contact her insurance company to report the previously undetected damages. My daughter was helped by a san diego county sheriff, but he did not write any type of incident report. He only asked if anyone was injured and if there was any property damage. Since neither happened, he did not make a report. My daughter contacted her insurance company immediately. A&c paint and body sent a tow truck to her apartment three days later and towed it to their facility, where they did the repairs I have already described.
