tire in windshield

A Canadian truck driver narrowly escapes a tragic moment when he was able to dodge a flying tire that crashed right through his windshield.

One of the four wheels from a U-haul trailer in front of him snapped off and became airborne.

It appears that his steering wheel blocked the tire from reaching him head-on.

The driver was lucky and made it out with only minor scratches on his face due to shattered glass.

Showing great humility, instead of complaining about the incident, he says he was glad that it happened to him instead of a car with a family and young kids.
