Steel rods to blame for flat tires to 30 cars on Florida highway

Stranded motorists on northbound I-95 are assisted after 30 vehicles got flat tires Monday morning, April 23, 2018 due to metal debris in the road.

PALM BEACH COUNTY, Fla. — A truck and trailer dropped steel rods onto Interstate 95 in South Florida early Monday, causing flat tires to 30 vehicles, the Florida Highway Patrol said.

Crews have removed debris from the roadway and troopers are looking on the shoulders of the highway to make sure all of the rods have been collected, said Lt. Alvaro A. Feola, a FHP spokesman.

No one was injured, Feola said. A few cars also sustained damage to the rims of their tires.
