Police said 36-year-old Andrew Bruce, of Hobart, was driving west on I-80/94 near the 7.6 mile marker when he saw a semi tire bouncing in the westbound lanes.

The tire struck Bruce's 2012 Subaru Impreza on the front passenger side – caving in the windshield and roof and causing major damage to the car.
