He safely pulled over to the right shoulder on three tires, without hitting anything. Last visible at 0:24. Dodging traffic to retrieve the tire and wheel parts attached to it. Hub Failure, or, brake disc cracked, inside the bolt circle. At 0:10 you can see the wheel has already departed the spindle, 10-ply LT tire on factory wheel.
