YouTube Description
as posted by the channelRachel Barnes was headed to her parent's house Wednesday afternoon. It was about 2 p.m., she was driving on 392 near Windsor. Then she saw it but didn't have enough time to react. A tire was speeding across three lanes of traffic headed straight for her.
Sgt. Blake White with Colorado State Patrol called her lucky. The tire and wheel popped off a horse trailer headed in the opposite direction, Barnes explained. It smashed into the front of her car. The impact can be seen in a video she provided to 9NEWS.
Others stopped to make sure that she was all right. She was able to walk away from the wreck. Her car? Well... it didn't fare so well.
White said as a highway trooper he's seen tires smash into cars a lot. His advice? Do not swerve out of the way. If a tire is coming for you, there's nothing to be done: the safest thing is to just let it hit you. White said when people try to avoid tires or anything unexpected in the road troopers see a lot of people try and get out of the way and then suddenly those drivers are rolling their car or worse instead of just taking the impact from the tire.
