A car travelling on a highway in Switzerland lost all four wheels simultaneously, hence coming to an immediate halt in the middle of the road, police said yesterday.

The car had just stopped and the passengers had changed from winter to summer wheels, 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 highway, all of the wheels came off," said the St Gallen cantonal police.

"Luckily, no one was injured and no other vehicle was damaged," they added.
