Tyre rolls off truck on PIE, crosses expressway until it hits road divider
A truck tyre joined several cars on the Pan Island Expressway (PIE), recklessly “lane-changing” across the entire road before ending up at the divider.
The tyre, which seemed to have come off a moving vehicle, almost struck two cars during its brief “drive”.

One of the truck’s left rear wheels dislodged from the vehicle, and ended up being left behind by the unaware driver.
“The world is so big,” the text jokingly read from the perspective of the tyre, “let me go take a look around”.

It missed a green vehicle before entering the rightmost lane directly in front of a black BMW, which did not seem to slow down.

Fortunately, no collision occurred. The tyre subsequently struck the road divider barrier.

The constant friction on the barrier slowed it down, and it was soon overtaken by the camcar.

While the visual of a loose tyre rolling down the road is quite funny, it can cause serious damage at such high speeds.
