WATCH: Loose tire launches car into air
A dash cam caught a spectacular crash when a loose tire sent a car flying in L.A., and the driver escaped without major injuries.

If you look closely at the end of the video you can see the rotor is still attached to the wheel. Tells me the Bearing and Knuckle let go. Jacked up truck, over size tires, well outboard of stock, may even of had spacers etc. Often drivers can't tell bearing grind from wheel noise at highway speeds. Add to that, not checking stuff often or well enough and you get catastrophic failure.
Looks are one thing, but it puts way more than designed stress into a lot of parts that can fail.
