Police are reminding drivers to double check their lug nuts after two vehicles lost their tires in Georgian Bluffs.
Police say on Monday around 8:54am, a Toyota was travelling west on Hwy. 6 and 21 when the front driver’s side wheel came off. The driver had recently installed snow tires.
Police received a second call at around 2:20pm, after an Acura was made a right turn into a parking lot on Hwy. 6 & 21 and the front passenger wheel came off. There were no injuries reported.
The OPP says it is important to get the lug nuts on tires re-torqued after travelling 100-150 km if snow tires have recently been installed. Loose nuts can become loose due to vibrations while driving. As well, over-tightened nuts can damage bolt threads or break the fasteners.
