OPP Releases dashcam video of flying wheel crushing into moving vehicle on GTA interstate

Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) have delivered dashcam film that shows a free wheel crushing into the front of a vehicle as it was going on a More prominent Toronto Region expressway on Friday evening.

In a video presented on Twitter, OPP Sgt. Kerry Schmidt said it happened around 2 p.m., but the driver’s location on the highway is unknown.

He stated, “The white pickup truck that lost that wheel said he had his tires changed by a friend about two weeks before.”

“A lot of people are switching from winter tires to all-season or summer tires right now. Ensure they’re introduced appropriately and after you’ve driven a brief distance, return and ensure each and every one of those wheel clasp is forced on appropriately.”

According to the police, neither of the two people inside the vehicle that was struck by the tire was hurt.

Although Schmidt did not specify whether the pickup truck driver was penalized, wheel separation typically results in a fine of between $2,000 and $50,000.

Driver of the truck had his tires changed about two weeks before they came off on the highway.
The two people in the other vehicle were not injured. If you are changing to your summer times make sure they are installed properly, and double check they are tight. pic.twitter.com/0wHYpf39f5
