That's a bold strategy. I wonder if it paid off.

But seriously, that was very nice and responsible of the people taking the video, doing all they could do to help. Hope the driver was OK.

Yea I hope she got home safely also. It's nice to see people out there who will try to get help for others.

If that was my mom or dad at night I would have told them drive it home -SLOWLY-. A wheel or front suspension is easier replaced opposed to some scum that may be looking for a target. Given the area, would have been easy to stop where all the LEO's were at the crash scene. Would have had easy help.

Wow! Hope everything turned out okay.

sucks all the cops were probably busy at the crash site. we all need dash cams in our lives. cali has some odd moments on the road..
surprised the car's rim didn't spark up the nite once the tire left.

Lol, you could never go wrong getting a dash cam. If you're at fault you will likely be charged at fault with a camera or not. With a camera, you can record the event and show it to your insurance or the police.

doesn't surprise me in the least, I see people driving on flats, or no brake lights, or with no headlights at night all the time, when I tell them they shrug it off like its no big deal. people are morons.

One time I was coming out of the grocery store and there is these loud rubber noise. A guy drives up into the lot with a flat tire. I go up to him when he parks and tell him his tire is flat. He looks at it and says "Huh I should take a look at that when I get home" then he walked away. He probably drove it home flat. Once thing for sure tire or not if my car started to make a loud grinding notice first thing I will do is pull over and take a look at it.

I'm **** enough that if I hear a minuscule squeak or rattle (even with the radio on and/or the windows down) it will drive me nuts until I find it, a loud grinding noise would cause a stroke.

but as I said most people are clueless. made more so by texting or yakking on their phones.

We're all morons at some point, I drove my 76 Camaro six months with a broken connecting rod til it finally came through the side of the engine and caught fire. (It was a piece of crap anyway) Sounded like a machine gun going down the road.
But this elderly lady might have been too old to be driving, not knowing something was wrong, (not being able to hear it) or just wanted to get home where she knew she'd be safe. Just hope the cops caught up to her and she was safe.

that's a lexus driver if i've ever seen one

that's really the paradox of the LS lol... it's so good, smooth, and quiet you don't even notice when a tire is missing! *checks carfax* 1 owner, low miles, "accident free"... must've been well taken care of!
