A traveler on a Houston highway captured video of an unlucky driver running after a runaway tire rolling toward traffic.
Rafael Sanchez tweeted a video showing a man running frantically to catch the tire as it rolled toward vehicles on Interstate 45 about 3:30 p.m. Sunday.
The video shows the driver was able to catch the tire before it became a road hazard.
The driver, Mitch Chapman, responded to the tweet, initially appearing miffed that Sanchez filmed his struggle instead of stopping to help.
Sanchez apologized, explaining he was only a passenger in the car and stopping was not his call. He wished Chapman, who complained of further auto trouble in the form of a bum starter, better luck with the new year.
“Thanks man, I appreciate it,” Chapman tweeted. Have a good year yourself.
