Last night, my ole lady and I was leaving the midnight premier of Deadpool 2 in St Charles, MO(for those familiar with the St. Louis area). As we get on 70, we smell a tire burning. I looked to the side and this white chevy Cruze was riding on a flat. I tried to flag the driver down. About 1/10 a mile later, the tire blows completely off and this lady is driving highway speeds on 3 tires and a Rim!! So I'm really trying to get her attention, flashing lights, honking horn, etc. finally I just alerted the cops to the situation because the woman was all over the road. I ended up trailing her and giving the local municipalities location updates from St. Charles all the way down 270 to Manchester. At one point this lady even stops at a red light. I pullled up beside her and she's texting on her phone waiting for the light to turn green. A few minutes later, she pulls up to a residence and a man comes outside. I tell him what's going on, how she blew a tire out on 70 and kept driving. This guy opens the passenger door, asks her did she know she was riding on a blown out tire, thanks me for making him aware, and then hops in the car with her and allows her to drive off. This point, the cops are finally pulling up as she's pulling off and are able to box her in.
