WATCH | Car goes airborne and flips over on California highway after tyre pops off bakkie

A car was sent flying into the air, flipping over, after a tire from the bakkie next to it on a freeway in California flew off last week.

The dashcam of Anoop Khatra's Tesla captured the scene on the Ronald Reagan Freeway on Thursday, Fox 35 reported.

In the video, a dark Kia Soul is seen passing the driver on the left, pulling even with a silver bakkie.

Then, without warning, the bakkie's front left tire shoots out in front of the Soul.

The driver walked away 'without any major injuries', according to officials.
