Wow!What a terrible thing. After living through hell to come back and feel safe... Very sad.

For what it's worth! I have seen more than one tire with a growing bulge blowout. If anyone has or sees this condition ,"Let the air out of the tire or just get away from it"! It is like a bomb waiting to explode. Another piece of friendly advice, IF A TIRE HAS BEEN RUN FLAT DON'T TRY TO INFLATE IT TO SEE WHERE THE LEAK IS! This can also become an exploding tire. Our sympathies to the young lady's family.

Thanks for posting this: it's a danger I was unaware of.

Sympathies and thoughts for all her friends and relatives.

Hopefully wider knowledge of her accident will help to avoid other incidents.
