Apparently they had changed the tyre on the vehicle (a BMW Z sports two-seater) as it had a bulge in it. The spare was a space saver wheel and the original wheel couldn't fit back in because of all their stuff so they sat with it in the front passenger foot well. The tyre subsequently exploded as they were travelling through Dalkeith.
Supposedly both American military personnel who had recently returned from Afghanistan.
