South Carolina Tractor-Trailer Tire Deaths
In October of 2008, a tractor-trailer tire broke off of a semi truck, flew across the median of South Carolina I-20 and landed on the roof of Perry and Patricia Miller’s Honda Accord. According to highway officials, the impact sent the car off of the road and into an embankment. Both Perry Miller (44) and Patricia Miller (45) died. According to official reports, the Millers died from head injuries.
According to highway officials, the semi truck was traveling westbound when its rear tires broke off.
Fatal accidents involving tractor-trailer tires are not uncommon. 
There are several reasons why a tire can become loose and detach from a semi trailer truck:
- The studs and/or bolts become loose or break
- Over-tightening
- Insufficient tightening
- Use of incorrect wheel/tire parts
- Poor maintenance of wheel/tire
- Poor-quality parts
- Failure to use specialized parts that would prevent the tire from coming off
