>>149576707 (OP)Now that I think about it, I have NEVER heard of a racecar driver dying in a car accident on the road.
To me that's evidence that 99% of car "accidents" are avoidable if only people had absolute control of their vehicles. The problem is, driving schools can't teach that control let alone spatial awareness.
A blown tire should not suddenly send your car uncontrollably to the side of the road unless you're speeding like crazy and ignoring obvious signs of a sudden increase of pressure.
And in his case it's allegedly a puncture, which makes it all way more suspicious, a puncture shouldn't spin your car around suddenly. You still have three wheels with full contact with the surface.
