After every tire on a truck driver's rig was mysteriously punctured multiple times while the driver slept in the cab with his wife, another report of eerily similar vandalism has emerged.
A video posted to TikTok by truck driver David Lucas in early October detailed the strange incident on a southbound run on I-75 from Louisville, Kentucky, to Jacksonville, Florida, hauling a brand-new Maintainer service truck for the Ring Power equipment dealer.
Not finding anywhere good to park, Lucas pulled over on an off-ramp, left the truck idling and well-lit, and went to sleep. In the morning, all 18 tires, plus six on the service truck he was hauling, had been punctured, some as many as a dozen times.
The incident left him bewildered and $10,000 lighter after replacing the tires. Police, according to Lucas, mentioned this wasn't the only time something like that had happened.
A still from Lucas' TikTok shows very similar vandalism to his tires.
Overdrive's Matt Cole reported on the story on Friday. By Tuesday, Mike Leach, Director Of Fleet Services at Nu-Way, came forward with another report.
"I read the article today about the 18 tires poked in the GA area," he wrote. "This this happened to our company as well," on September 7 this year. He also sent along a picture shown above.
