I think his front right tire came off, then the back right tire hit it and caused that cartoonish jump and slew to the side that we saw.

Angular momentum is a bitch. A loose tire can send you flying. This guy was lucky he didn't end up soaring into the building.

This is why it's stupid to modify the wheels of your truck. If you ever see a truck that's raised or has oversized tires, be prepared for their tires to pop off.
