(Valley News Live) - Drivers who traveled down 45th Street South on Tuesday, May 12, say they ended up in an unexpected place: the Applebee’s parking lot, with flat tires.Viewer video shows at least three vehicles limping into the lot near 45th Street, all with similar damage, almost at the exact same time.Some drivers were able to patch their tires on the spot, but at least one vehicle had to be towed.“It happened really fast,” said Dylan Rust, of Fargo. “I made my left hand turn after leaving the bank, and I could hear air coming out of my tire real fast. I looked down at my pressure gauge and it said 10 PSI in the tire.”Rust said he barely made it into the parking lot before realizing he wasn’t alone.“Right after I pulled in, there was another person who had pulled in with the exact same tire, back driver side tire,” he said.He later learned the damage was significant.“The slash kind of went from the top of the tire down the side of the tire, and it was a pretty big gash on the side of my tire,” he said. “Once I got it to the shop they were able to be like, ‘yeah it was a two inch gash in my tire.’”According to Dylan, one of the other drivers found a razor blade lodged in their tire.“From what I could see, there was nothing in my tire, but I’m wondering if that same razor blade is what slashed my tire, and got stuck in his,” he added.All of the drivers said they had just crossed a construction zone on 45th, and they suspect debris from that work may be connected, though that has not been confirmed.A driver told Valley News Live they contacted the city to report the problem. VNL also reached out, but city officials were unable to say what is causing the flats or whether construction is a factor.Some drivers were able to get their tires patched; others had to pay for brand-new ones. Dylan said he spent nearly $200 on repairs. He was driving for work at the time and said his employer may help reimburse him.The drivers also told VNL they plan to take detours around construction zones in the area for now. “I don’t know how cautious they’re being with the stuff they just let fall out on the road, or what their clean-up is like when they’re done,” Dylan said.</div></body>
