Tchooptip Posted June 23, 2017 Share Posted June 23, 2017 Good luck it was not a motorbike instead of the car that received the wheel in the face. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw a guy on the highway with his crash helmet in his basket only last week, yes, on a three lane highway. Three days later a guy pulled up along side me and his crash helmet was not strapped on, this was on a two lane carriageway.

A similar thing happened in Melbourne Australia a few years ago on a freeway. A wheel came out of a passing ute and hit a man standing on the side of the road as he was helping a friend whose car had stalled. Seeing it's illegal for a pedestrian to be on a freeway the fatality was a 'one in a million". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChesneyHawkes Posted June 23, 2017 Share Posted June 23, 2017 Be glad it was a spare wheel and not the gas canister that fell off! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
White Tiger Posted June 23, 2017 Share Posted June 23, 2017 The Miracle Channel on Thai tv shows a lot of this sort of stuff. There was a food vendor at the side of the road who was killed the other week when a wheel came off a lorry and rolled or crashed into her food stall knocking it and her over.

MaiChai Posted June 23, 2017 Share Posted June 23, 2017 (edited) Had a big stone thrown up from some roadworks in Thailand once that smashed the windscreen. Luckily it was back in the days when getting a windscreen replaced was relatively cheap, and we just looked for a shop to replace it. Current pickup has a webcam just incase something like this happens... Edited June 23, 2017 by MaiChai Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

williet98248 Posted June 24, 2017 Share Posted June 24, 2017 Wondering if the pickup ever stopped. Or maybe he just wonders what happened to his tire after he got to his destination. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shady86 Posted June 24, 2017 Share Posted June 24, 2017 You can't ride with 3 wheels. With that speed I think the pickup will crash unless the driver can brake on time. Sent from my SM-G935F using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
