Scary night tonight..got collected in a near head on collision with the two cars in front of me and a tire that came off the car infront of and flew in to our car.. Everyone luckily was ok.. Something I never want to experience again


Here is the car that just missed getting hit head on by the oncoming truck. Notice the missing wheel


This is where the tire impacted on our car
The man above was definitely looking after us and the others.

Scary shit! glad everyone is ok, can you imagine a wheel flying off another car and impacting your hood that hard?

When I was reading those tweets I thought he was talking about driving his nationwide car. Then I looked at the pics! Close call.

wow, both air bags deployed. I wonder if they got facial burns from the bags? That's the stuff that makes you look at life differently.

Two guys near Ontario CA driving on the 15 a few years ago tire comes off car on an overpass I believe, flies through the air hits these two guys square in their windshield kills them both. They never even knew what hit them. RC I'd say is lucky.

I'm not sure what the airbags are like in that car but I got bad internal chest bruising (also bruising on the side ribs and back) from the steering wheel airbag, it has taken 3 weeks to feel better and even still I have bruising inside. Never had so much trouble or taken so long to get into bed before during the first week it happened.

A truck wheel hit a friends car coming the other way some years back and he was lucky to walk away from that.

Glad RC and everyone else is ok

knew a trucker killed from a loose wheel assy. that hit him through the windshield.

Once as a vol. firefighter, got a call of an explosion. Upon arrival, we found a set of duals off a truck/trailer that bounced off of the overpass and hit the side of a brick building. Blew through halfway then rolled out in the weeds. Took us a while to find it.

You can tell as a species we're pretty stupid. Putting ourselves in tin contraptions and hurling towards each other at a combined speed of 150mph! ...wtf?

Can anyone tell what type of vehicle that is?


My guess is that it's a '11 Buick Regal:

To give people a idea what it looks like to get hit by a wheel on the window with a crossbar in a V8 Supercar, if you got hit by a wheel going onto the window in a road car things are not going to end well
