Calgarians have gotten pretty used to dodging hazards on the highways these days, as potholes are all over the city, but this weekend, drivers had another danger to contend with.
A rogue tired was seen rolling down Deerfoot Trail north of Peigan Trail in the city’s southeast, according to a video posted to Reddit over the weekend.
Deerfoot Trail SE and North of Peigan trail SE. Still couldn’t find which car it belongs to.

In the video, cars can be seen dodging the oncoming tire as it hurtles down the road into oncoming traffic.
Calgary Police says it was called to the area for reports of a lost tire at approximately 3:55 pm on Sunday, May 26. Police arrived to make sure the lost tire wasn’t blocking traffic while the driver waited for a tow truck.Â
The cause of the loose tire is unknown, but some people in the video’s comments shared that they had also seen the incident, with some saying they saw the vehicle it belonged to.
While some joked about the situation, others shared their concerns, citing the very real consequences of being hit by a tire on the highway.
