Hi I was wondering if you could make a public post for me on behalf of my sister. she doesn’t have Facebook. Around 133 pm today the 14th she was driving on 251 going into Loves Park coming from Rockford right by Sinissippi and a tire flew across six lanes and hit her car and caused a lot of damage. She doesn’t know where it came from but was wondering if there were any witnesses that may have seen it. Any help is appreciated.
