LOS ANGELES CA; Video shows a wild crash on the 118 Freeway in Los Angeles in which a vehicle went flying into the air after being hit by a loose tire from a pickup truck nearby. The incident happened on Thursday, March 23, in Chatsworth, Los Angeles. The video, which has since gone viral, shows the tire detaching from the truck and going underneath what appears to be a dark-colored Kia, sending it flying into the air and flipping it upside down. Debris was scattered across the freeway. A spokesperson with the California Highway Patrol confirmed the Kia driver suffered minor injuries. Sheared-off lug nuts apparently led to the pickup truck’s tire detachment. This was a very dangerous accident that has made people more aware of their surroundings, especially in very hectic places and resorts like LA.
