Had the ever living shit scared out of me today. I like to drive in the big open gaps between packs of cars on the freeway. Was cruising to the grocery store and some movement caught my eye. I had less than a second to swerve as a semi tire had bounced over the guardrail into oncoming traffic. When I swerved right, I am pretty sure it went over the bed of the truck, but when I went to regain control, I was on two wheels for a couple seconds. I think my shock at that realization is what allowed the truck to settle down onto all fours without me panicking and rolling it. I stopped to see if it hit anything else, but it looked like it hit a bush and it fell over. If I could have squeezed anything out of my butt, would have been very high quality diamonds.

Glad you go through it Kev.
Seen lots of you tube vids Like that.
Scary shit.
Hardest part is that you really can’t go anywhere if your packed in.
Glad you had room to maneuver...

Damn. Glad you and the rig are ok. I commute on the highway daily. I've seen my share of semi tires do all sorts of things. You should be next to one at 70 mph when a tire explodes. That'll make you dooty your drawers

I had a similar, though not so personal experience myself about a month or so ago. I was sitting third in line at the red light, waiting to make a left. Just as the light turned green and the first care started to turn, I saw a large tire rolling perfectly, like a bowling ball, down the road. It struck the back side panel of that car. The car in front of me and I saw the tire rolling so we stayed stationary. I looked to my right and a work truck was sitting with its front driver side wheel on the ground. I still can't figure out how the tire came off that trunk which was apparently in a turning lane in a perpendicular fashion from where his tire landed (think of a clock; we were at 6, that truck who lost his tire was 3). The amazing thing is how this tire rolled perfectly at least several hundred feet until it hit that car.

I had something similar happen a couple of years ago....
I was in my boat tied up under a bridge fishing one evening when a tire and wheel came over the guard rail and landed in the water about 20 ft from my boat! It sounded like a bomb exploded (a sound I’m familiar with). I almost jumped into the water when it hit. Funny.... a couple of guys were fishing in a Jon boat nearby. They motored over, grabbed the tire and sped off! About 10
Minutes later a couple of guys walked down the rocks to the side of the bridge looking for their tire/wheel. They didn’t like the story I told them about what happened to it.

Glad you squeaked it under, and didn't soil your undies. At least, I don't think.. I DONT WANNA KNOW
