House Struck by Runaway Tire

(La Porte County, IN) - A tire came rolling off a moving vehicle Wednesday evening and struck a house outside La Porte.

 

According to La Porte County Police, officers about 6 p.m. responded to W. 18th St. and Westwood Dr. near the fairgrounds.  A motorist told investigators he felt his Ford F250 “wobble,” police said.

 

Once he pulled over and stopped, the driver observed his front left tire continue forward and strike a house.
