Exclamation Tire Slashed

Today I was on my way towards the mall, I was going like 100,bumped into smthin on the rode I thought it was stone. But the steering felt so heavy and the car kept drifting towards right side.

My friend 3years old daughter was ridding with me on the back seat. I managed to stop in the left side of the road. I know it's dangerous but car won't cross six lanes.

Stepped down and oh my god, my tire was literally slashed!
Got the tire and the tools out.. Hope a nice guy will drop to help but no one seemed to care. I used the lifter but it would lift the car higher. After approximate 15min. Three young gentleman in Nissan stepped towards used their car lifter done in 10min.

My Q is why a brand new tire (5month)old would slash that easy?(OME tires Bridgestone)
Car lifter is so hard to use and the manual dint help (any idea)

I would take it to the dealer. If you took it the grocery store, they won't fix it.

Wonder if the tire had a defect. Thank goodness you didn't lose control.
