A Brazilian man, 50, was seriously injured last Friday (17) while walking with a woman on the banks of the BR-381 highway.

A security camera at a commercial establishment recorded the moment when he was hit in the head by a tire that broke loose from a trailer on the highway.

Nurses and physicians at the Mobile Emergency Care Service (Samu) provided assistance to the victim who suffered head trauma. The car and the driver have not yet been identified.

The victim remains hospitalized at the Hospital.

This is the perfect example of how crazy religious lunatics can be. This dude was cleaning a medical clinic at almost 11pm at night. At the exact moment he decides to go straighten up the chairs right by the window, a rogue fucking TIRE flies off a truck, crosses a highway, avoiding all cars, medians, and obstacles that could potentially stop it or alter its course, and fucking DEMOLISHES this dude like a bowling ball. And their first reaction is This man is very lucky.

It's a miracle, God was watching over him. How about that? How about that fucking shit? Has ANYBODY ever gotten more of a free pass than God? He’s like the Kate Upton of all knowing creators. This guy just got obliterated in perhaps the most unlucky turn of events the world has ever seen and his first reaction is praising God because he’s not dead.

Setting the bar a little low there, aren't we? How about instead of thanking God for just keeping you alive we say “Hey God, where were you on the 900 things that needed to fall perfectly into place for a runaway tire to decimate me while I was cleaning this office at 11pm? Where were you on that one, dipshit?”

If everyone got the free pass God got, it would be complete anarchy. Complete chaos. God’s up there mailing it in every day letting children die and shit and he just keeps getting all the praise. It's like Peter Gibbons in Office Space getting promoted for doing nothing. Unbelievable.

A 77-year-old janitor counts himself lucky to be alive after a truck tire smashed through the window of a medical clinic where he was working and struck him late Tuesday night. Manuel Mendoza told Local 2 News through an interpreter, “It was sort of like an explosion.” Mendoza and his wife were cleaning the 45 Clinic in the 8200 block of Gulf Freeway at around 10:45 p.m. Mendoza was moving a chair in the waiting room when security video shows the tire smashing through the window, pushing the chair in his hands aside and knocking Mendoza to the floor.

He stayed there for several minutes, apparently dazed. Mendoza was taken to Memorial Hermann Hospital by ambulance and treated for cuts and bruises, but he was found to have no major injuries. The tire, which was still attached to a brake drum, apparently came off a truck traveling inbound on the Gulf Freeway. It rolled across the freeway and feeder road and into the clinic’s parking lot where a second security camera shows it smashing into the window.

The clinic’s owner, Dr. Joseph Sleiman, just happened to be passing the clinic that night on his way to the airport when he noticed the ambulance in front of his clinic and stopped to investigate. “The man is very lucky. I’m so glad that he’s OK,” he said. Sleiman believes more than luck was involved in Mendoza’s survival. “I believe, probably because Christmas, God was here. This is what I believe because this is a miracle,” he said.
