McDaniel claimed he was injured when a wheel from the truck, which was being driven by Ryals, came loose and struck McDaniel’s automobile. The trial court entered a summary judgment in favor of Crabtree and Ryals. McDaniel appealed to the Alabama Supreme Court, which transferred the case to this court pursuant to § 12-2-7, Ala.Code 1975.
