A wheel that suddenly loses air may have a crack, bent sealing edge, valve fault or tyre damage. The cause should be confirmed rather than assuming every leak needs welding.
Do not continue driving on a collapsed tyre to reach a convenient location. This can damage the tyre and enlarge wheel damage. Recovery may be necessary before mobile assessment.
