INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. (WANE) A woman was killed after a wheel came off another vehicle and hit her windshield while driving on I-70 in Indianapolis Monday morning.
Photo of vehicle that lost wheel on I-70 provided by Indiana State Police.
An investigation by Indiana State Police determined that a wheel on a Nissan pickup traveling in the eastbound lanes came off the truck and bounced over the median wall into the westbound lanes where it hit the windshield going in that direction. The vehicle ran off the road, went down into a ditch, through a fence, before it finally came to rest about 25 feet from a home in a residential area.
When emergency crews arrived they found an unresponsive woman inside. They attempted life-saving measures, however the woman was later pronounced dead at the scene.
The Marion County Coroners Office was called to the scene to recover the womans body. No other information was released.

(3,247 posts)we were traveling on a freeway in the Dallas-Ft Worth area and a semi truck passed us on the right. A spare or dual tire came off at freeway speeds. We watched and luckily it did not hit our vehicle or others but we saw it head across a field towards a housing development. Missed the end result, hopefully no injuries....Very scary...

(9,154 posts)rolled on an edge, it went right up on the hood of another car, up to the roof of the car, cutting a trench through the car the entire way, hood, window, roof. Just like someone had taken a saw to it.
