CENTRE COUNTY, Pa. (WJAC) — An incredibly close call was caught on camera Monday as an out-of-control tire barreled down a Pennsylvania road and collided into a police cruiser.
The Spring Township Police Department posted the video to their Facebook page. They said officers were monitoring traffic along the 1300 block of Zion Road in Centre County when the incident took place.
They say the officers were caught by surprise when a pickup truck lost one of its tires and the tire rolled directly toward their cruiser, smashing their windshield.
Thankfully, no one was injured. The tire hit the windshield, launched into the air and across the opposite side of the road — instead of hitting another vehicle.
Police note their cruiser did suffer extensive damage, though.
