The Arizona Department of Public Safety (DPS) is asking drivers to be mindful of their vehicle maintenance after catching a semi missing some wheels on I-10.
In a December 20 Facebook post, Arizona DPS said:
“Anything missing here?
The driver of this tractor-trailer was stopped by an AZDPS trooper on westbound Interstate 10 in Goodyear for operating an 18-wheeler with only 16 wheels. The driver explained they had hoped to make it to California to buy new tires. A trooper escorted them off the highway, cited the driver and placed them out of service.
Whether you’re driving a car, truck or motorcycle, help keep our roadways safe during this busy holiday season by maintaining your vehicle properly! Find tips for vehicle maintenance at www.azdps.gov/safety/travel.“
