    Wheel was never tightened and driver skipped pretrip it should have many broken studs if that’s the actual hub which I’m thinking it might not be.

    I’d like to see what’s left of the tandem set that broke off.

    I suppose this wouldn't be a good time to sing "wheels on the bus go round and round"...

    "I need a tire PDQ!!"

    Ask and you shall receive.


    Jokes aside.....I hope the kid is alright. Someone owes him a few truck loads of tacos.
