A tire came off of a pickup truck on the 60 Freeway in Pomona and bounced into opposing lanes and crashed through the windshield of a driver from Moreno Valley, killing her, early Monday morning, Aug. 11.
The collision on the eastbound 60, west of Garey Avenue, was reported to the California Highway Patrol at 2:26 a.m.
A GMC Sierra pickup truck was traveling in the No. 3 lane of the westbound 60 when its left-rear tire came off, the CHP said, crossed over the center divider and plowed into the front of a Lexus ES 350.
The Lexus lost control, veered right across lanes and collided with a guardrail.
