The rear wheel and tire came off a northbound pickup truck on Interstate 35, bounced over a retaining wall and crashed into an oncoming motorcyclist.

The Oklahoma Highway Patrol says 47-year-old Harold Eubanks of Moore was in good condition with numerous injuries after the accident shortly after noon Saturday. The patrol says Mark Calhoun of Norman was driving a 1988 GMC G350 pickup truck when the rear dual tire and wheel came loose and bounced into the southbound lanes of the interstate.

The tire and wheel also struck a second southbound vehicle, but no other injuries were reported.
