‘Flaming Tire’ Rocketing Past A Car Almost Hitting A Woman Is A Viral Digitally Manipulated Video

A video of a “flaming tire” flying past a car and almost hitting a woman is a viral digitally manipulated video. A viral video falsely shows a “flaming tire” rocketing past a car and almost striking a woman standing outside of the vehicle. According to a [ad_1] that went viral in November 2017, there are random flaming rocket tires that are attacking people. You can see it below:

However, the video is digitally manipulated, according to [ad_1].

Rather, the video was created by adding flames to [ad_2] that has already been circulating social media since at least June 2015. In the original video, there is a runaway truck tire; however, there are no flames. The tire without flames does come between a person and a car and does crash into an off-camera object, then smashing back down on top of the hood of the car.

The video has been seen over 300,000 times. However, this video certainly does not show a real flaming tire crashing dangerously close to two people. Snopes noted that the earliest iteration of the video without flames was a sped-up version posted to YouTube by [ad_2] on June 1, 2015, which claimed that the woman in the car suffered a broken wrist. However, there was no additional info.
