In the “Lug Nut Challenge”, TikTok users film themselves loosening or removing lug nuts from vehicles. A family, whose wheel separated from their vehicle during a transit, suspects this challenge as the culprit. It could have been worse. Had the tire held out longer, it could have came off during their highway transit.<\/p>\n

From Fox News:<\/span><\/p>\n

“Lug nuts do not shake themselves loose and fall off all at the same time without warning,” he said. “It appeared that someone removed four of the five lug nuts and the last one held on for a while and finally broke off.”<\/p>\n

The couple said family friends tipped them off to the incident perhaps being part of the dangerous trend on TikTok, explaining they had never heard of the “Lug Nut Challenge” before.<\/p>\n

“I’m thankful that no one was hurt, but parents and people need to be aware of this — it’s insane,” Joe Casaliggi said.<\/p>\n

“Someone could get seriously hurt or killed,” Michele Casaliggi said.<\/p>\n

Joe Casaliggi also went to the police to report the incident, but was told it was only considered theft of property due to the four missing lug nuts, not reckless endangerment.<\/p>\n

District Attorney Michael E. McMahon tweeted about it on Wednesday, calling it “really dumb” behavior for people to participate in such a challenge.<\/p>\n

“Thankful the Casaliggi family was not hurt in this incident, and that we have not received widespread reports of the ‘lug nut challenge’ across the Island. This is really dumb, dangerous, and mean behavior,” McMahon tweeted.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
