A wheel fell off a vehicle driven by Nathan Parker on the Victoria Bridge at about 9:15 p.m. during the summer of 2026. The Parker family believes the incident may be connected to the online “lug nut challenge.”
The detachment occurred while the vehicle was crossing the bridge that links Longueuil and Montreal in Quebec. The wheel came completely off the vehicle as it travelled over the span.
The “lug nut challenge” is a social‑media trend in which participants remove lug nuts to see whether a wheel will detach, prompting safety concerns among observers.
