When Tire Meets Kia: An Unexpected Showdown at the Monster Truck Tour

What’s the wildest thing you expect to see at a monster truck show? Crashing trucks, roaring engines, and maybe—just maybe—a flying tire? That’s exactly what happened at the Malicious Monster Truck Tour in Kitsap County when a tire detached from a truck named “Veteran” and made a beeline for the parking lot. Spoiler alert: it didn’t end well for a parked Kia sedan!

The tire took a dramatic leap over a ramp, headed out of the arena, and straight onto the roof of the unsuspecting Kia. Let’s just say that vehicle now has a story worth sharing—complete with smashed windows and a roof caved in more dramatically than a soap opera plot twist. But here’s the silver lining: no injuries were reported! That’s one lucky crowd.

Bill Payne, the event organizer, managed to keep the show rolling after the incident, proving that sometimes a little debris can’t stop the fun. It’s a bizarre but memorable reminder to always check your surroundings, especially when monster trucks are involved. Who knew checking your car for damages could beat out thrillers at the box office? What would you do if your car became an unintentional prop in such a wild spectacle?

So, how do you feel about monster truck safety? Should there be more precautions in place at these events, or do you think the excitement is worth the risk? Let’s hear your thoughts!
