Social media user @barstoolsports shared a jaw-dropping video of a car that lost its wheel in the middle of the road.

While it is not clear how this incident occurred, one can only assume the tyre wasn’t fitted correctly or there were issues with the vehicle's wheel balancing. Either way, the driver in question could not have had a good after that disaster.

Although it is quite difficult to spot the vehicle in front of the wrecked SUV it does make sense that it is being towed rather than wobbling down the road. The clip has gained tons of views and responses from social media users who believe it is being driven.

The car is missing its back bumper, rear window, its left backlight, and the portions above the tyres are also gone.
