The wheels on the truck didn’t go round and round, but they did go up, up and away.

Thankfully, no one was injured when a silver pickup truck changed lanes, only to have a tire pop off, on the Ronald Regan Freeway in Los Angeles.
The wheel went rolling under a Kia, which launched the smaller vehicle several feet into the air. Video of the frightening incident was captured by another driver’s Tesla dash camera.
The video revealed the tire popping off the truck at precisely the wrong time, as the Kia went to pass on the left. It went under the Kia, flipped it into the air, then rolled back down the highway and hit the key in the back before the tire flew up into the air itself.
Car Flips Over on Ronald Regan Freeway
How no one was injured, we’ll never know. In fact, the LAPD told Storyful that the driver of the Kia was able to walk away. The individual who was driving the Tesla said the driver was the only occupant in the Kia. This man needs to seriously buy a lottery ticket because this is just insane. Talk about being one lucky dude, honestly! The fact that he walked away with just a scratch is baffling.
As for the truck, well, it came to a skidding halt as other traffic slowed down, drove past, and avoided getting hit — somehow, someway. I’m sure the driver went home and balled his eyes out.
