337. interesting photo of SUV driver after being dragged out of vehicle

This was posted by another DUer (whose name escapes me at the moment) on the GD thread about this incident. Take a look at the right passenger side front wheel.



This photo was taken by a bystander after the Helmet Camera Dude stopped filming and appears to be a group of bikers beating up the SUV driver though you can't see him in the photo. There is no tire on the metal wheel. I'm not seeing any other way that that tire could have been completely gone unless it was punctured or slashed while the bikers surrounded the family on the highway, as he had said and was lost during the chase either in pieces or relatively whole that couldn't be seen in the video . In the video it couldn't be seen what was happening to the SUV while it was forced to stop on the highway and surrounded by bikers. If bikers that couldn't be seen in the video damaged his car at that time - and I just don't see how that whole tire could have been lost otherwise - he had every reason to fear for himself and his family by accelerating away on a tire they punctured. The passenger side window is also shattered, there is other damage to the vehicle body, and that very well could have happened when the family was surrounded on the highway. But puncturing that one tire alone is reason enough for him to have raced off seeing as puncturing or slashing a tire at that time meant that they intended to hobble the vehicle so that the family couldn't escape them.
