A wild crash on a California freeway was captured on video last week, showing a car flip through the air after it struck a tire that popped off a pickup truck.
The accident happened Thursday on the Ronald Reagan Freeway in the Chatsworth neighborhood of Los Angeles.
Anoop Khatra was driving behind a dark-colored Kia Soul in the left lane when her dashcam recorded the heart-pounding moment.
A white pickup truck was driving in the lane adjacent to the Kia when the pickup’s front-left tire popped loose and shot out in front of the Kia, according to the video.
