Wednesday, September 18th around 8:00am there was a fatal car accident on Interstate 93 in Hooksett, New Hampshire. Law enforcement have reported that a wheel was the cause of the accident. The wheel flew off of a tractor-trailer on the interstate. First, the wheel hit a police cruiser that was heading north in the I-93. Then the wheel bounced into the southbound lane and hit another car which caused an accident.
This tragic crash resulted in the death of the driver whose car was hit by the tire in the southbound lane. The wheel was assembled on a truck that was pulling a modular home and it broke free. The truck driver may not have noticed the wheel coming free or causing an accident because he did not stop at the scene. As of now, charges have not been filed in the accident case.
