The third most common was "maintenance/operational" which includes using a tire past the safe tread wear limits, flat spotting a tire, or vehicle body contact with the tire.
Road hazard . . . you mean like some moron with a brand new prehung interior door in his pickup truck bed, not tied down, no matting on the bed floor and no tail gate, accelerating onto an interstate causing the door to slide out of the bed right in front of me forcing me to jump it at 60 mph. That kind of road hazard? I only hope the door got destroyed so the fool had to buy another.

That sounds like exactly one of those situations. I'm glad you're okay and still here.
