“The area around Kingman is known as a particularly unsafe place to drive.” Our motorhome had two blowouts on that same stretch of road last year. We were westbound, but saw shredded tire remains littering the eastbound as well as the westbound I 40. I thought it could have been the altitude combined with the temperature. Not sure of any other factors.
Its well known for the Kingsman AZ UFO sightings.
