Imagine that you’re enjoying a cruise-in. It’s the first one of the season, and you’re excited to see all of your old friends that you’ve known for years, but that winter has kept indoors. You’re all thrilled to be getting out your classic cars and taking them for one of the first spins of the spring.
Suddenly, your enjoyable afternoon is disrupted when a rogue truck tire comes careening through the parking lot, damaging some of the cars, knocking down signs and just causing a panic. That’s exactly what recently happened in Southaven, Mississippi when one teenager’s left front tire came off his truck.
The young man was just getting off from work and he was heading home, driving past the location of the cruise in. No one was hurt, thankfully; however when the tire came off the truck, it did destroy a sign and smash out the window of a nearby Lexus. It finally came to a rest when it rolled and bounced partway through the cruise in lot and hit a 1955 Cadillac Coup DeVille.
The young man was devastated over what had happened, but everyone assured him that accidents can happen to anyone and at any time. The owners of the Cadillac were just thankful no one was hurt.
