Raphael was driving a bus on a charter out to the eastern plains and on the return trip, the bus picked up an object in a tire. As he was driving back on I-70, the tire started losing air. This caused the tire to overheat and start to come apart rapidly. As he was traveling at highway speeds this could have caused a serious incident, however his driving skills got the bus safely to the shoulder. After contacting his supervisor and arranging alternative safe transportation for the passengers he checked around the bus to see what damage had occurred. Rafael located an object he believed came off the bus, which was correct. This was part of the transmission braking system. The pictures he sent allowed the garage to ascertain what needed done to repair the bus onsite as it could not be towed with the damage. His diligence saved the garage hours of travel, time and costs to the Transit operation. Awesome job, Rafael!
