This article is upsetting. Especially since I was on the 57 freeway this Saturday PM, and my car was struck by a 3 foot piece of tire tread kicked up by the car in front. Smashed my bumper and headlight, breaking the light. Now I'm out $1,000 with insurance.
There are all sorts of hazards on the freeways. One time I was driving and a mattress was laying in the middle. Can drivers really be that irresponsible??

ORANGE -- A minivan has flipped on the northbound 5 freeway while reportedly trying to avoid a recliner chair that was dropped on the roadway.
The accident, which happened near the 57 freeway interchange, is blocking lanes three and four.
A witness reported seeing a white truck drop the recliner which is believed to have been what caused the minivan to swerve and overturn, the California Highway Patrol reported.
A SigAlert has been issued and is expected to last 45 minutes.
An ambulance is responding.
Also on the 5 freeway in Irvine just south of Culver Drive, a SigAlert has been declared with lanes one through three blocked due to several traffic collisions.
The lanes expected to remain blocked for about 30 minutes.
