While going around a hairpin turn the driver side front tire fell off rotor and all, this incident caused the 2002 ford lightning truck to slide into the curb causing the truck to roll completely over landing back on it's 3 tires that were left. From the look of it the axle bolt fell off causing the tire to fall off. Driver was going under the speed limit & no other vehicles were involved. According to a friend this same incident happened to his lightning truck. Sounds like a defect on fords part.
