The first place I pulled up on that stretch on google street view had a tire on the side of the road

No but I’ve seen a wheel come off a trailer, bounce several feet up over the median and across the other lane of traffic. Fortunately it didn’t hit anyone.

It’s the largest collection of lifted truck racing baws in the world. They all in a hurry to get somewhere.

The older I get, the more I despise the bro dozer pickup truck.

I've seen similar in open wheel racing, but never on the interstate

Wonder if the Kia driver ever saw the tire.


Even if he did, unless he has the reflexes of an F1 driver it wouldn’t have mattered. Probably wouldn’t matter anyway in that shite box.

Driver of the truck probably had to replace all the LED lights underneath his truck.

MORONS that insist on jacking up their vehicles like that, should be held accountable i.e. forced to follow vehicle safety guidelines as well as pay an insurance premium !!

I’d be guessing wheel spacers were the cause of that failure.


Probably spacers with the original lugs. Hey, two threads tight oughta do it.

If you ever watch "Just Rolled In" or similar videos on YT where mechanics show some of the crap they see...

You wouldn't be too surprised at this...

But dayum, that was wild....

I’ve seen some freak accidents , but that one takes the cake.


If you watch closely you will see fire shoot out when the airbags deploy as the vehicle flips.

There was nothing awesome about that. That was horrible. All it takes is one freak occurrence and somebody can be dead. Anybody that thinks that's awesome is an idiot. Life is not a video game you stupid jackasses.

ETA: directed,of course, not at previous poster, but at the true retarded idiots who thought it was awesome.

Well thanks, now I have a whole new thing to be afraid of.

If I live through that, I'm suing the frick out of that truck driver.
