A lorry tyre rolling loose on a Malaysian highway has sparked concern after a video of the incident went viral.
The footage, captured by TikTok user @atika.lanni, shows the tyre breaking free from the lorry and hurtling across multiple lanes, narrowly avoiding collisions with passing vehicles.
The tyre, seen moving unpredictably from the leftmost lane to the rightmost fast lane, eventually veered off into a highway ditch.
Fortunately, no accidents or injuries were reported despite the tyre’s erratic movements.
The video also captured the moment the tyre passed narrowly between two signpost poles before coming to a stop.
While some viewers found the scene remarkable, the potentially hazardous situation served as a stark reminder of road safety concerns.

The video, which has garnered over 3.7 million views, sparked mixed reactions. While some viewers joked about the tyre’s seemingly calculated movements, calling it a “goal” as it squeezed through the poles, others highlighted the danger of such incidents.
“This could have caused a major accident,” one commenter pointed out, expressing relief that no vehicles or road users were struck.
Others shared personal experiences with similar incidents, with one commenter recounting a traumatic encounter with a runaway tyre that led to car damage.
