A drive south on State Highway 42 in the Town of Egg Harbor ended abruptly for a Kimberly, Wis., couple Monday morning when a tire fell off an oncoming semi and struck their car. The accident occurred at 11:50 a.m. on STH 42 near Hillside Road as the 72-year-old woman driver and her 82-year-old husband traveled south.

As they approached a semi-truck driven by a 43-year-old Manitowoc man, a tire fell off the truck and struck their vehicle, causing the airbags to deploy. Both individuals suffered possible injuries but did not need to be transported to the hospital. The car was towed due to disabling damage, and one lane of the highway was closed for about an hour for cleanup. No citations were issued as a result of the accident.
