Video: Runaway Car Wheel Blindsides Man on Sidewalk, Launching Him out of Frame

According to the Daily Mail, da Silva suffered numerous head injuries as well as a bruised liver following the incident, which is detailed in the video. That’s on top of the fact that da Silva appears to be injured from a previous instance as a crutch can be seen within his reach. It’s hard to tell if the playback of the video is sped up, but you can see da Silva just hanging out at the roadside bar before a vehicle up the street starts to throw sparks, presumably from its now wheel-less axle.

Da Silva looks up the street, as he likely heard some sort of commotion from the vehicle as it screeched its tires. Initially, he doesn’t think much of it—that is, until the runaway wheel comes into the video’s frame at an alarmingly high speed, crashing into da Silva.

His friend, also sitting nearby in the white baseball cap, watched in awe as the tire flew in suddenly. After the collision with da Silva, he could be seen getting into his car and chasing after the passing vehicle, who reportedly failed to stop even while driving on only three wheels.

Police later caught up with the motorist who could be facing charges, depending on the investigation.
