re: Road debris - ever had damage?

18 wheeler tire on interstate. It was raining and car in front of me moved at the last second so I didn’t see it until my only choice was to either hit the tire or spin out on the wet road. I hit the tire. Tore up my front end and cut the wheel well to the point it was rubbing my tire. Had to pull over and give it the old duct tape treatment to get it home.
