This happened to me in my old Firebird back in 1989. I'm guessing someone sabotaged me because I hadn't done any work on my car in a while. Luckily I was going real slow around a corner, having just stopped at a red light. The left rear wheel came off, crunched the rear quarter panel and shot off across the road. By the time I got the car pulled off the road some guy comes along with my tire. I was on a Navy base in the Philippines at the time so there was no shortage of people to come to my aid. I ended up taking one lug from each of the other three wheels to put it back on.
The only thing that saved me from real damage was my $20 bolt on traction bars.
