The video, which has since gone viral, shows the tire detaching from the truck and going underneath what appears to be a dark-colored Kia, sending it flying into the air and flipping it upside down. Debris was scattered across the freeway.

A spokesperson with the California Highway Patrol confirmed the Kia driver suffered minor injuries.

Sheared-off lug nuts apparently led to the pickup truck's tire detachment.
