['There was an important meeting today at work and on the way there my tire popped and by the time I got there, it was over', 'Sorry to hear that. That is bad. What your manager did say about it?', 'I made sure to let them know as soon as it happened and send them a picture.... they were a little upset i missed it but understood']
That is ok if they understood the situation. It will be fine.
