On Monday, a mother driving on Highway 10 near Bromont, Quebec, reported that four of the five lug nuts on a wheel had fallen off while three children were in the car.
Bromont police officer Léonie Pelletier documented the incident and noted the missing lug nuts, linking the event to a social‑media challenge that encourages removal of wheel lug nuts.
Police have issued a public safety warning, urging drivers to be vigilant about the challenge and to check their vehicle wheels for tampering.
