Crazy vehicle accident in LA

Guessing that truck driver that lost the tire regrets not tightening the lugs on the tire properly…

Was it a loose or broken axle?

Once when traveling with my grandpa he could sense something wasn't right while we were on the freeway so he pulled over to about 5 mph. Sure enough the axle broke off on the back right tire. Back right of the vehicle dropped and the tire rolled along side us.
 
Holy cow! That looked like an effect you might try to get for a movie.

Once, when I was a kid, traveling down a county highway, I saw a wheel come off of a semi trailer, that we were following, roll down through someone's ditch and blast right through the sliding glass door of the house. There's a ton of energy in those wheels when they're moving.

Reminded me of the series CHiPs from the 1970s...they had all kinds of crazy car-jumping crashes in that show...
