WATCH: Car goes airborne, flips on Los Angeles freeway after hitting tire that popped off truck

Amazingly, no one was seriously injured, according to LAPD.

Which guy? I know the General Lee is a bit jealous after seeing this video. Could also be a new way to launch stunt cars in the movies without a ramp LOL.

It was awfully considerate of him to stop the wheel from rolling into other’s paths.

That was awesome. It was funny to see the tire come running up shortly after and crash into him.....again. ****** for the person, but hilarious to watch

That truck must have had wheel spacers

That truck must have had wheel spacers

Maybe he pulled his half shafts @Trey Hardy @randeez

After watching it again on a bigger screen, it looks like it still has the rotor attached to the wheel (?)

Wheel bearing took a crap?

youd be amazed how many people spend a couple grand on wheels and refuse to buy the right lug nuts for another >$100

thats my guess

Edit, saw the longer one where the wheel bounces around after, clearly shows rotor still in it some sort of hub failure

Just saw that, definitely a hub failure

I posted another one some time back where a Ram pulled his axle shafts and the hub came apart and killed a woman in her Denali. The wheel, when it bounced, came down on her windshield and cab roof caving them in.

Loose tires are no joke when they are let off the leash. More unpredictable than a beagle at a rabbit convention

Several years ago in Colorado a pedestrian was killed on a walking trail near a remote stretch of highway when a wheel came off a car and hit them. One in a billion chances.

sheared lugnuts

Tire flies off truck, hits another vehicle, flipping it

You have to see the video.

So either spacers or wrong/cheap lug nuts used

That's strange, looks like the rotor was still attached.
