Young mechanic killed in truck tire explosion in Kalar

SULAYMANIYAH — A young mechanic lost his life in a tragic accident in Kalar, the administrative center of the Garmian independent administration in Sulaymaniyah governorate, when a truck tire burst during inflation, causing fatal injuries.

Rizgar Latif, director of the Shahid Hajar Emergency Training Hospital in Kalar, told 964media: “The young man was brought to the hospital in very critical condition. Despite the initial medical interventions by doctors and staff, he succumbed to the severity of his injuries.”

The victim, approximately 25 years old, had been handling the replacement of a heavy-duty truck tire when the explosion occurred. His body has been transferred to the Kalar Forensic Medical Department for further procedures.

Tire explosions involving heavy-duty trucks are particularly hazardous due to the immense air pressure, often exceeding 100 psi. Sudden ruptures caused by structural weaknesses can release significant force, propelling tire fragments or rims as deadly projectiles.
