I don't see damage on the shock from the tire beating it.
Naw, that was a blowout that they ran flat. I have had truck and trailer tires that looked that bad or worse, sometimes all that was left were the sidewalls! It may have slung the tread off when it blew and they kept riding on the steel belts. I've had to do that when you couldn't get off the road, just keep riding until you find a wide spot, sometimes a few miles. Those steel belts will tear some stuff up, seen trailers that looked like they were cleaned with a wire brush until the paint was gone, which I guess they really were!
