A dashboard camera captured the heart-thudding moment a car was sent spinning in the air after being struck by a rogue tyre on a busy California highway.
A video doing the rounds on social media shows a motorist in a green Golf making a unique plan for one of their car’s missing back wheels.
It only took a few seconds for a tractor tyre to go from an innocuous object to dangerous and destructive.
Changing a tyre involves more swearing, cursing and scraped knuckles than a bar fight between 500 drunken racehorse owners. It’s something that one day we will all have to face. So you’d think car makers would make it easy. You’d be wrong. Very wrong.
