Poland's president unhurt when his limousine blows a tire

WARSAW, Poland – Poland's President Andrzej Duda says he was not hurt when a rear tire blew in the limousine he was riding in Friday.

Officers of the Government Protection Office were driving Duda on the A4 highway when the tire blew, sending the BMW into a grassy ditch. Footage from a passing car that was aired on TVN24 showed a sudden cloud of dirt.

"The car skidded and went into a ditch but nothing happened to anyone," Duda said on TVN24.

In 2010, President Lech Kaczynski was killed in a plane crash in Russia. His twin brother, who now leads Poland's ruling party, blames the crash on Moscow.
