Driver 'lucky to be alive' after wheel flies off transport truck on Hwy 401 Ontario
It's not often that police bring people involved in their dispatches on camera with them, but the driver of this vehicle, identified only as"Mark," seemed happy to speak to the public about what had happened to him."Yes I did. I did see it coming, Kerry... it came off the bridge.
Based on road conditions, skill level and simply the direction of where someone's gaze fell at that particular moment, not every driver would have been able to make such a manoeuvre to get out of what Schmidt calls a "scary situation." The officer used the incident to reiterate that every motorist needs to ensure their vehicles are safe for the road.
"Check those wheel fasteners, if you had them changed recently because of a brake job or because of the seasonal tire change. You have to check your knot, check your wheel nuts and make sure they're properly torqued and tightened down and they're not going to fail," said Schmidt. "This could have been deadly and Mark is lucky that it didn't go right into the occupant compartment... I'm gonna go find the truck right now. Please make sure your wheel nuts are fastened properly, and you double check them after you had them installed."
