    That's one way to remove the "blades", if you don't like them...use water pressure!

    Strange skid marks. Looks like a definite fishtail on the road, but if you look at the pic just before it hit the canal the tire pattern is straight, indicating a locked wheel which is really odd. I wonder if there was some sort of mechanical failure at a high rate of speed?

    So it was a mental failure, not a mechanical one!
