Surveillance video (above) shows one of the tires flying through the air into a front window at the AutoSport store just after 7:30 p.m. Sunday.

Soon after, the pickup driver rushes into the frame, retrieving the wheel from outside Salvatore Marsilla's auto body and detailing shop.

USR and Ramsey police also responded to a pair of crashes caused by the other wheel.

No one was seriously injured, Upper Saddle River Detective Lt. Edward Kane said.
