A New Jersey driver lived through what many are calling a real-life Final Destination moment after a loose tire came flying out of nowhere and smashed directly into their windshield in a terrifying viral video. The dashcam footage, originally shared on TikTok, shows the driver heading down a New Jersey highway toward the Delaware Water Gap Bridge, merging to the left side of a split interstate when, without warning, a rogue tire comes hurtling across lanes. Within milliseconds, the tire collides head-on with the car’s windshield, shattering the glass instantly before the video cuts off.
The video has exploded online, racking up thousands of comments from stunned viewers trying to process the shocking moment, with one viewer summing up the collective panic by writing, “What in the holy Final Destination?!” Another echoed the confusion shared by many, commenting, “Bro, where did that even come from?”
Others couldn’t believe how quickly the incident unfolded. One shocked commenter wrote, “Help, this is frying me… but how,” while another admitted, “Took me five times to even see where the tire came from.” Some even turned to humor to process the chaos. One joked, “Ok, who on that road let their tire off leash… so irresponsible,” while another added, “Imagine if the insurance says it’s AI.”
