Fortunately no one collided with the tire, and no one was hurt.

The tire shop has apologized to the driver and is covering the cost of all of the repairs, including bodywork.

The driver told Global News he’ll be double-checking next time he gets his tires swapped to ensure they’re bolted on tight.
