Commiserations to her family.

A car tyre exploding ... I can't find the right words to convey what her family must feel about such a bizarre way to go.

What a stupid, sensless waste of life. Poor, poor woman

What a crazy accident, never heard of a car tire doing that!

Condolences to her family and colleagues.

(Without detracting from what was a needless loss of life, does anyone have a clue what might make a tire blow out so violently? Faulty run flat system maybe?? - madflags)

Damaged tyre as it says in the article

A sadly bizarre way to go.

Sad thing to happen to the poor woman and her husband, both serving their country and trying to get a little R&R. A nightmare for the poor husband being there and seeing it.

I have heard of this sort of thing with big truck tires but never for a car tire.
