Hasn’t happened to me yet ( knock on wood) but I have seen a loaded dump truck blow a steer quite a ways ahead on a 400 series highway. One giant dust cloud and rows upon rows of activating brake lights.
Once the dust cleared to where we can see again, the dump truck went from middle lane to the far left lane into the wall.
Pretty much looked like the truck in the video. Hood, etc all damaged.D.Tibbitt Thanks this. -

A few years ago I was NB on I-57 in southern Illinoistan when I noticed a SB truck billowing smoke. Thought it was on fire at first until it got closer, that's when I noticed it had lost the entire left steer wheel and was riding on the drum. I thought "huh, don't see that every day...wheymint, where in tarnation did the wheel GO?" Sure enough it was still bouncing along headed SB in the NB lanes, thankfully the wheel made it all the way to the far right shoulder without hitting anything.
