The trailer driver did not stop after the tire flew off the vehicle, and police are currently looking for them.
Vaughn’s uncle, Evan Richard, said he was heartbroken over his nephew’s death and urged as many witnesses as possible to come forward to help his family get the answers they need.
“He was a passenger in a vehicle struck by an oncoming tire. What are the chances of something like this happening? [You should] know, you are endangering lives around you, and I can’t bring him back. But I can get the message out that you can do better. The city can do better.”A picture of the wrecked KIA SUV shows the front passenger side of the vehicle completely caved in from the impact.
She said the tire rolled into the HOV lane, where a white pickup truck slammed into it and sent it flying into the westbound lanes.
