4 Injured after Tire Falls Off on Interstate 5 in San Joaquin County

San Joaquin County, CA (December 13, 2023) – On Wednesday evening, one person died, and four others sustained injuries after a tire fell off on Interstate 5.

Reportedly, a tire falling off a nearby trailer proved fatal for an individual on the north side of San Joaquin County, as reported by the California Highway Patrol. 

According to CHP, at around 6 p.m. on Wednesday, a 2022 Toyota Sienna was traveling north on Interstate 5, just north of State Route 12. 

Simultaneously, a 2019 Chevy pickup truck, pulling a “concrete pumping trailer,” was heading south on the same highway. 

As the trailer was in tow, its left tire detached, traversed over a guardrail and collided with the front of the Toyota.

The impact resulted in fatal injuries to the driver, as stated by CHP.
