The Shock wave incident

There was an accident recently, where one wheel of an SUV burst. The accident resulted in the car going offtrack and crashing another vehicle on the other side. A wheel burst is an example of a shock wave. It's basically a wave which is faster than the speed of sound and is capable of producing high temperatures and can be used to generate nano particles (just laying a foundation on the topic). Anyway, the car went offtrack mainly because of the wave caused by the wheel burst. The car was speeding, by the way, which caused the 'going offtrack' thing intense.
What happened was, that the bursting of the wheel produced a shock wave (of slightly smaller intensity). That wave traveled in the horizontal direction of the road. The car itself was moving in the vertical direction. (you know, when you consider the road and the car to be 2-D). The wave that generated, was powerful because the resultant of the intensity of the wave (in horizontal) and the acceleration of the car (in the vertical) caused the resultant effect on the car, to be moved at such an angle with respect to the road, that it went on the other side. (somewhat diagonally). Now the entire story, is more of a proof that objects are, after all, controlled by waves. This makes things quite interesting...

Here's a link to a video, which shows what a shock wave can do to a vehicle. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FauOIjlWvO0
