A pickup truck’s lost tire sends a Kia Soul skyward in this wild dash cam video. The video was captured on March 23 on the Ronald Reagan Freeway in Los Angeles, California.
As shown in the footage, the tire broke free from the left front of a silver pickup truck, bouncing towards the adjacent lane where it collided with the unfortunate Kia Soul. The impact of the tire was so forceful that the compact car was propelled into the air, causing a panic among nearby motorists. The Kia landed back on the freeway, and the loose tire hit the vehicle again as it skidded across the pavement.
Miraculously, no major injuries were reported from the accident, although both vehicles sustained significant damage. It is a reminder of the importance of regular vehicle maintenance to ensure that incidents like this do not occur on the road. The dash cam video of the incident went viral on social media, drawing attention to the dangers of neglected vehicle maintenance and the potential hazards that drivers face on the road. The footage also serves as a cautionary tale for drivers to stay vigilant and alert while driving, as unforeseen accidents like this can happen at any time.
