Overview
- A Tesla’s onboard camera recorded a large tire bouncing over the concrete median on Interstate 76 near Girard Avenue and then hitting a Nissan Rogue in the left lane.
- The SUV’s entire front end was crushed and the windshield shattered on impact, but officials have not confirmed whether anyone inside the vehicle was injured.
- Police have opened an investigation but have not identified the vehicle that lost the wheel or explained how the assembly detached.
- Observers noted the tire appears large enough to be from a semi‑truck, but that assessment is unconfirmed by authorities or forensic evidence.
- Detached wheel assemblies can become high‑energy projectiles that cause severe damage, and this case underscores how vehicle cameras increasingly help reconstruct highway incidents and guide investigations.
