The driver of the damaged vehicle, who escaped with minor injuries, claimed she had seconds to react after witnessing the tire bounce towards her windshield.

"I, as quickly as I could, took a look to see if there was anywhere I could go to escape this tire and not cause injury or accident to anyone else and I looked back and thought this it, I am going to die, this is the end" she recounted.

The OPP is warning drivers to always double-check the installation of their summer tires.
