Recently, a Kia Soul driver in Los Angeles had the shock of their life when they ran into a rolling tire on their morning commute. The tire had detached from a nearby Chevrolet Silverado, which may have been using wheel spacers, and it flew across the highway directly in front of the Kia. The driver had no time to react and hit the wheel head-on, causing the Kia to launch into the air. It was all caught on a Tesla dashcam and the footage went viral online. The Kia flew several feet into the air, higher than the Silverado’s roof, before landing on its hood and rolling over to a stop. Miraculously, the Kia driver was unharmed.
