Even smaller things can be a problem. A set of semi dual wheels separated from the truck, left the highway and hit a house. Almost got a guy on the john at home.

A single wheel-tire from a light duty vehicle got loose, crossed the grassy median and hit a minivan head on. People died.

It IS dangerous out there.

I’ve seen the results of all of that (due to former career). “Life comes at you fast” - but so does Death sometimes.

Around 1970 I saw a large tire and wheel fall off the back of a truck and roll into traffic. I was on a Troy team bus and all of us watched as it hit a car just about head on.

It really crushed the car. I never did hear what happened to the passengers but it was bad. The coach immediately told the driver to keep going.
