Shocking Dashcam Video Captures Massive Tires Flying Off FedEx Semi and Smashing Into Cars at Utah Red Light

A terrifying dashcam video circulating online shows two large tires detaching from a FedEx semi-truck and slamming into vehicles stopped at a red light in Salt Lake City, Utah.

The footage captures the moment the dual tires bounce across the intersection and strike an orange Nissan and the car beside it. The Nissan absorbs the bulk of the impact directly to its front bumper, while the adjacent vehicle is hit on the passenger side. Traffic signals and nearby commercial signs are visible in the background as the tires roll freely through the stopped lanes.

The incident occurred Wednesday as drivers waited at the light. No official reports of injuries have been confirmed in the immediate aftermath of the video’s spread, which has drawn hundreds of thousands of views. The FedEx truck remains visible in later frames of the clip, continuing along the roadway.

Truck tire and wheel detachment incidents have appeared repeatedly on Utah highways in recent years, often linked by investigators to issues such as bearing wear, low fluid levels, or inadequate pre-trip inspections. In past cases documented by local outlets, loose components have crossed lanes or struck other vehicles, prompting calls for tighter commercial vehicle maintenance standards.

FedEx has not issued a public statement on the specific event as of Thursday morning. Drivers in the video appear to avoid further collisions once the tires come to rest. Still, the sequence underscores the sudden hazard posed by unsecured heavy components from large trucks in ordinary traffic. Local authorities have not released an official account of the stop or any citations issued.
