Got hit by a wheel coming off a lorry on the opposite carriageway of the motorway and bouncing across!

I hope they find the culprit... I understand that HGVs are menat to have a mechanism to make sure the nuts don't come loose hence securing the wheel...

He's lucky not to be seriously injured or worse...
