The driver who fell from the sky: The driver of a Kia Soul was recorded last week traveling on a freeway in the Los Angeles area, when a wheel suddenly detached from a van traveling in front of him, rolling straight in the direction of his progress.

The driver had no time to react.

In the video recorded on his road camera by a Tesla driver who was driving behind the two vehicles, the Kia can be seen hitting a wheel, and as a result of the impact it jumps several meters in the air.

At high speed, the Kia performed one somersault in the air, and landed on its front part.

Because of the speed of the impact, she continued to slide for tens of meters, as the driver could watch other vehicles driving around him in horror.

Will they have enough time to brake and not collide with him?

The Sol received high marks in both the European crash test and the stricter crash test conducted by the Institute for Highway Safety, IIHS, which belongs to the insurance companies in the US.

But do the laboratory results really simulate reality? At least in this case they do. A spokesperson for the Los Angeles Police Department said that The driver of the Kia suffered only minor injuries after the terrifying accident.
