Driver gets scare of their life after wheel comes loose

An M25 motorist got the shock of their lives when a runaway wheel smashed the front of their car after it had come loose from a vehicle travelling in the opposite direction.

The wheel, which came off a van travelling anti-clockwise near junction 22 at St Albans hit a Vauxhall Zafira and caused both carriageways of the motorway to be closed for a short time.
