US Officer Killed by Tire Explosion in Scotland
Source: BBC News
"A US air force officer who was on holiday in Scotland has died after a car tyre she was holding exploded. Capt Jenna Wilcox, 27, was on a break with her husband when the accident happened in Dalkeith, Midlothian, on Saturday. She died at the Western General Hospital in Edinburgh on Thursday, five days after she sustained the injuries.
Capt Wilcox was holding the car tyre inside the vehicle, because it would not fit in the boot, when it exploded. It is thought the couple had changed the tyre on the BMW Z3, after noticing a bulge in it, but that Capt Wilcox was holding it because the boot was full of luggage. It is not known what caused the tyre to blow up . . ."
Strange & sad.
