| We were traveling northbound on i95 near the vicinity of edgewater, fl to st augustine, fl, when an 18-wheeler trucks tire debris hit underneath my vehicle. after the impact, i immediately opened the driver and passenger side of our car and a heavy burning smell invaded the interior of my vehicle. i stopped the car and my daughter and i checked around our vehicle and my fully-filled gasoline tank was leaking. i called 911 and left the perimeter of the vehicle for safety until the police and the fire dept arrived. if i had not opened my windows this leak would have ignited with the hot exhaust pipe and my daughter and i could have burned and our car.*ak | |||
