Lauren Collins, 18, was driving along the Interstate 75 in her home state of Kentucky near the Ohio border in July 2023 when the object collided with her car.

Ricky Raider, 37, alerted cops days after the accident to say he had lost a wheel, but told police he 'didn’t believe his tire had hit anyone,' according to the Boone County Sheriff's Office. However, his story was called into question when investigators obtained a recording of a call he placed to a female inmate at Bullitt County Detention Center, which contradicted his version of events. Raider has since been charged with leaving the scene of an accident and failure to render aid over the incident, after the phone recording helped police build a case against him.
