I had 4 horses loades and going to a horse show in Pierre SD years ago.
Saw it come off in the mirror and go into the medium on I-90.

Drove on to Wall and the gas station put another tire on. We were on our way in less than 10 minutes.
Very odd feeling watching your tire racing you down the road lol. TG no one was near us at the time.
