Abstract:

Wheel Separations! Recently several motor carriers have had serious accidents resulting in injuries and fatalities due to wheel separations. In Miami, Florida, a school bus was struck head on by a wheel and tire that had sheared off the steering axle of a straight truck. Investigation determined the wheel bearing seized and the axle spindle sheared. The tire and wheel bounced over a concrete median barrier into the windshield of the bus. Two children were killed instantly, one adult died of injuries later. The motor carrier was unable to present any indication or evidence that the vehicle had been inspected or maintenance performed.
