You made out OK then.
I was being towed home in a '60 Bus when the left rear wheel came off. Before it fell off completely one lug bolt held on for a few seconds so the whole back end of the van was whipping from side-to-side pretty good- good enough to shake the tow strap off. That was probably a good thing; went to the gravel shoulder and rode it out there at my own pace. IIRC I found only one of the lug bolts; had no jack but the van had no engine so I picked up the left rear corner while Pa got two lug bolts in.
Good times.
