That still a massive search area for a very tiny object. It's the distance between Austin TX and Los Angeles, CA. And they didn't know it was within 2m of the road- it might have bounced much further, or been hit by another vehicle and sent further. It might have been picked up by another vehicle, stuck in the tire perhaps. Previous incidents like this have lead to deaths. Let them celebrate.
