Tyre detaches from moving truck
Tyre separation is one of the most terrifying scenarios for all drivers, especially those on the highway.
The reason is that the running wheel is unlikely to slow down, even after detaches from the vehicle. Without a doubt, it could then accidentally smash into other cars on the road and cause severe injuries.
Nevertheless, such an accident will not occur if we learn how to spot the problem and practice how to deal with it – like this gas station worker in Sakon Nakhon.
Here’s the story of a Thai gas station clerk in Sakon Nakhon who helped stop a running wheel that had fallen off of a moving truck.

Another netizen made a funny comment – speaking on behalf of the detached wheel, he asks the truck to wait for him.
Always be aware of what’s going on
This gas station worker may have saved many people from accidents that would’ve happened if the wheel managed to get in the way of other vehicles.
What we can learn from this is that while we cannot see the accident coming ahead of time, we can avoid potential incidents by being aware of the ongoing situation – just like the man in the above story.
