Synopsis "Road Debris"

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Road debris, a form of road hazard, is debris on or off a road. Road debris includes substances, materials, and objects that are foreign to the normal roadway environment. Debris may be produced by vehicular or nonvehicular sources, but in all cases it is considered litter. Road spray or tire kickup is road debris (usually liquid) that has been kicked up, pushed out, or sprayed out from a tire. Road debris is a hazard that can cause fishtailing and damage like a flat tire or even a traffic accident with injury or death. In 2004, a AAA Foundation for Traffic Safety study revealed that vehicle-related road debris caused 25,000 accidents--and nearly 100 deaths--each year. At highway speeds, even small debris can be deadly. On June 16, 1925, in the United States, a passenger train carrying German and American tourists from Chicago, Illinois to Hoboken, New Jersey struck debris washed into a road crossing and derailed during a heavy thunderstorm.
