Drivers on the TF-28 near Granadilla de Abona in the south of Tenerife, were shocked on Thursday when they came across a car being driven on the public road with only three wheels as the right front wheel was missing from being in a previous accident, swerving dangerously in front of oncoming traffic as the driver struggled to keep control.
The missing wheel didn’t prevent the man driving the car from continuing on his journey, even though he was putting others at risk. One of the cars following him managed to catch the incident on camera, including the moment he lost control of his car and went off the road, crashing into a rock, as can be seen in the video posted by RTVC.
