SHALER TOWNSHIP, Pa. — Investigators said one person is dead after a detached truck tire bounded across Route 28 Friday morning and smashed into an oncoming car.

Officials said the accident happened just before 11 a.m. near the Shaler Water Facility.

Channel 11’s Alan Jennings reported the tire came from a Ford F-450 with a tarp-covered trailer that was heading southbound on Route 28.

Channel 11’s Rick Earle has learned the victim’s car was driving north when the tire hopped over the jersey barrier and hit the driver’s side windshield.

A man was driving and his wife was in the back seat because she has a boot on her leg.

The Medical Examiner has identified the victim as 75-year-old Robert Lofink, of Gibsonia.
