Luckily I had slowed down to 30mph because my car was vibrating so badly. Landed in a small ditch instead of plunging into the reservoir or hitting the large tree I was headed for.
My Angels were swirling around me happy

Scary. A few years ago I was behind a Ford SUV when a tire came off the rim. We were on the interstate and it was night. Crowded in Seattle. I had no where to go but over it.

So you lost a tire and wheel. Had it been anywhere recently for service?

Yeah Reap...the whole wheel came off. I think the hub was still intact. The tow driver from AAA had that car out of the ditch so fast and smooth...could not see much.
I think the gent that inspected it just had the wheels off to inspect it last week...but not 100% certain.

Speaking of losing a wheel. I had new tires, alignment, the whole deal. Drove to a client then drove home... all highway travel. The next morning I noticed something didn't look quite right. I look closer and like three lugs were missing from the rear passenger side wheel. I check the others and they are all finger loose except one is tight and it wasn't like torqued tight just tight from the way the tire was pushing on it. When I tightened the others up the last one got finger loose too. Anyway, tightened it all down and raised hell with the shop. They took it in and realigned it, replaced the tire on that wheel as it was worn unevenly and scratched up and tested everything out. This was back in the day though and I've never been a big complainer as long the problem got dealt with so that was the end of it. Would've been a different story if that wheel had come off on the highway though, heh.

Possibly happy Actually the two vehicles that were behind me stopped and waited until the police came...which took a lil bit because we were on a back road and in a dead zone. I wish I had gotten their names because they walked a lil distance, in the rain, to call the police for me.

They also were trying to help me out of the vehicle because the driver side was face down into the ditch. I was able to climb out the passenger side unaided...tho my car may not have fared so well.

I hope you had a police report made and I hope you contact the person that inspected it. And I hope you let your insurance company know. Things like this often cause a loss of life and should never be taken lightly. I had a front wheel come off a VW bug once cause someone at votech thought it would be funny to take the cotter pin out. Luckily with the engine in back I was able to coast to a stop. With the brake drum off I had no brakes except for the E brake.

State police filled out a report. They sent an ambulance and I signed off on that saying I did not need for them to transport me anywhere. They were going to send a hazmat team since I was close to the reservoir. But we could see there was no gas or anti-freeze leaking. I was very, very LUCKY!

My husband spoke to the inspection shop briefly and the insurance company was contacted right away. Curious to hear what the gent at the body shop says.

That's so scary, one of my biggest driving fears as well.

Very glad to hear that you weren't seriously injured.

I would certainly follow up with whether someone might be liable for the damage due to them removing the wheels.

Lug nuts just don't come off unless not put on properly. If you just had work done I would think you have a claim and at the very least find a new mechanic. Now if you're driving around a piece of isht, charge more for your cookies and buy a better car. Glad your ok either way. hugs

I was working on a car once and trying to free a rusted wheel.

I took the lug nuts off, hopped in the drivers seat and drove it down the road and slammed the brakes a few times. That damn thing never broke free, I ended up driving it to a shop and letting them deal with getting the wheel off.

it sure sounds like the shop is to blame for this, they usually take the tires off to fully inspect the brakes. I would imagine your car is totaled, a car that old doesn't take much.... I'm fairly certain mine would be considered totaled in a fender bender. I would not expect the shop to take responsibility however, so see if they have video, lots of shops use video these days because of how expensive their tools are.

I'm glad you weren't hurt worse, but you should definitely see a doctor, you don't have to hit your head to have whiplash.

One of the reasons that any time I bring my car in for any work where a wheel is coming off, the second it comes home I inspect it to see the quality of work they did and properly torque my lug nuts. Gotta put that snap-on wrench to use every once in a while. One reason I always inspect their work is I got my car back after I brought it in for a clutch/flywheel, master cylinder, and slave cylinder change they didn't change the master or the slave. If I still had my air compressor and engine lift I'd have done it myself and not had any of the problems.
