Safety Vision police car camera captures runaway tire: as featured on ABC, CNN, and FOX News

Safety Vision law enforcement customer Sgt. Matthew Davidson of the Harris County Precinct 8 Constable’s Office barely escaped severe injury yesterday—when a 200-pound tire that was let loose from a semi truck nicked past him at 60 mph or so.

The incident was captured by Safety Vision’s PatrolRecorder 4C RHD police mobile digital video recorder (MDVR) system with removable hard drive. Sgt. Davidson pulled over while driving and came to the aid of motorist Daniel Barnett changing a flat tire on a narrow bridge shoulder as traffic rushed by.

As Sgt. Davidson and Barnett were in the midst of talking, Barnett looked up and spied the oncoming tire, just moments before the semi tire rolled onto the scene. In the nick of time, Barnett’s startled exclamation of warning prompted Sgt. Davidson to move out of harm’s way. The tire clipped the officer’s holster and bruised his leg as it whizzed along at a breakneck pace.
