Runaway Tire Launches Car into Orbit in Shocking Highway Crash Caught on Camera
TL;DR
A Kia Soul was launched into the air after a runaway wheel from a Chevy Silverado smashed into it at highway speed, in what has to be the unluckiest wheel spacer fail of all time. The Tesla driver's dashcam recorded the accident while cruising down the highway near Los Angeles, California. The Kia driver was able to walk away unharmed, which is astonishing. It's unclear how the Silverado's wheel fell off so suddenly but it seems like some sort of wheel spacer/lug nut failure.
