TORONTO, Canada (KGTV) - Incredible dash cam video shows tires flying after a car hit a tow truck Saturday on a Toronto, Canada highway.

The camera attached to Adil Kanan’s tow truck was recording the moments Kanan stepped out to help three people in a disabled pickup truck.

Karan returned to his truck to alert police that his vehicle and a truck were blocking one lane of the freeway.

"As I was sitting there looking through my back window, that's when I observed the white Lexus approaching at a high rate of speed," he said.

The white vehicle hit the pickup truck, sending debris flying.
