Sadly it seems an inexperianced driver and a tire blow out contributed to this near fatal accident. Check your equipment carefully before EVERY trip.

Kevin nailed it. How many can say they never start a trip unless they do a tire and brake check?

And just out of curiosity how many of us don't have our undivided attention devoted to driving? Texting? Screwing with the TV and surround sound? Playing with the GPS?, etc. I'm now seeing more and more truckers messing with computers and none of this is going to improve safety.

Another example of the structural differences between a Prevost and a glass on chassis motorhome....
