Flying Truck Tire Misses Man, Hits Business

Some people at an Oildale business are counting their blessings Tuesday morning after no one was injured from a flying truck tire.

As a semi-truck drove on Alfred Harrell Highway, a wheel came off and flew into the air.

An employee at Darrell’s Mini Storage said it barely missed him, crashed through a rod iron fence, then hit the back of a car.

The damage was minor, but the man said the scare was pretty big.
