Car Loses All Four Wheels on Highway

[Hellraiser]

01 June 2009ZURICH (Reuters) – A car traveling on a motorway in Switzerland lost all four wheels simultaneously, coming to an immediate halt in the middle of the highway, police said on Saturday. The car had just stopped and the passengers had changed from winter to summer wheels themselves, a common task in Switzerland where there is plenty of snow in winter, but used the wrong nuts when mounting the new set. "When they then drove back on to the motorway, all of the wheels disconnected," St Gallen cantonal police said in a statement. "Luckily, no one was injured and no other vehicle was damaged."

but used the wrong nuts when mounting the new set.

I think that should have read : "...the wrong nuts mounted the new set..."

Saw an old classic mini loses one of her wheel in Federal Highway a few years back ...somewhere under the Motorola bridge.
