The wheels used to come off Morris Minors too (I actually saw it happen
on the M4 in the late 70's). But I think that was corrosion in the
suspension rather than loose nuts.

That wasn't the wheel coming off. The wheel, hub and stub axle assembly
broke off the suspension.

Whatever it was, it managed to roll along the hard shoulder, somewhat
faster than the car it had become detached from!
