SOB missing a wheel!

Was at my local RV alignment shop having my yearly undercarriage evaluation. Check everything, balance tires, repair anything even questionable for me. That's when a Big RG tow truck at 37 ft MS. Heavy beautiful coach resting on 3 wheels. One wheel and everything attached was gone! It was crazy. I met owner and he said he ran over a tall curb while turning into a Truck Stop. Somehow the turn caused the wheel to move in bad direction, and it came off. I still don't understand the physics of how it happened! I did not have my phone to get a shot. I said to the shop owner what you think? He said Michael hang out here everyday, I see things I can't explain. Told me about guy last week came in with his entire End Cap of FR RV ripped off oneside. Said the owner left a nearby park when he noticed the entire end cap was hanging on into the next lane of traffic, and swinging in the wind. I might rent a chair there in the waiting room! Lol

Too many people want to drive these big rigs and don't really have the proper training especially turning and backing.

At least you had some entertainment while you waited.

I would agree. At the store we see a lot of stuff coming from the lake and just when you think you've seen it all a wheel comes off a boat trailer and the boat flies off the trailer and takes out the drive thru menu board.

Heading to KC last week when we passed a small SUV pulling a large boat on a tiny trailer. One trailer tire had blown. On my way back to Wichita some 7 hours later, saw the guy back on the road, 50 miles north of where we first saw him, had 4 new trailer tires and still looked waaay overloaded. Hope he made it to where he was going without killing someone else or himself.
