'Everything Was Fine Until The Wheels Fell Off'
Police Chief Al Roque was cruising through Cornelius when he spotted a dump truck's tires lagging a little behind.

CORNELIUS, OR — The wheels on the dump truck go round and round and sometimes fall off the dump truck, apparently.
While driving through Cornelius Monday afternoon, Police Chief Al Roque witnessed something highly unusual when the wheels on the dump truck traveling in front of him spun right off the truck.
"Everything was fine until the wheels fell off," Roque wrote in a Tweet posted to the Cornelius law enforcement Twitter account just before 2:30 p.m. March 5.

After watching the wheels on the truck fall off, Roque called in a Washington County Sheriff's deputy to track it down and see what was going on, WCSO spokesman Sgt. Bob Ray told Patch.
The driver reportedly received a citation for having an overweight truck.
