Bus caught a flat tyre

I do apologise for my tardiness, my bus got a flat tyre.

Why did she say 'caught' a flat tyre?

Is there something I do not know about here?

There are several possibilities:
1) You misheard what she said.
2) She does not speak English fluently and used the wrong verb.
3) She is making a joke, as if the bus became sick (as is catch a cold, or catch the measles.)

I will show you exactly what she said in a link to the film:

I can't view your movie without creating an account. And I refuse to do this.
I gave you the alternative reasons in my previous post.

It worked for me.

It does sound as though she says caught, although one would expect it to be got.

I do apologise for my tardiness I much more often hear eg Sorry I'm late.

my bus got a flat tyre. I usually just hear My bus got a flat.

It's a movie about Alan Turing set in Britain in WWII.
I'm glad Anon posted the question and the link, because now I'm watching it. I'm enjoying it. Unfortunately I'll have to pause it soon and finish watching it tomorrow

I watched this movie "The Imitation Game" lately and just googled the phrase(highlighted above) and I got here...
I did understand what she meant but never heard of that kind of phrase.
