A Tesla dashcam recorded a shocking video showing the exact moment a car struck a tire that came off a pickup truck on a California highway.
The footage shows the vehicle being launched 10 feet into the air.
A Kia Soul was traveling on a Los Angeles highway when a loose wheel from a Chevrolet Silverado hits the Kia sending it airborne.
The accident happened on the Ronald Reagan Freeway in Chatsworth, Los Angeles, on Thursday, March 23.
