Watch shocking moment wheel flies off car and hurtles into crowd in terrifying scenes at Goodwood Festival of Speed
SPECTATORS reeled in horror as a wheel flew off a car and into the crowd at the Goodwood Festival of Speed.
Amazingly no-one was seriously hurt despite a rear wheel spinning off a Jaguar, hurtling hundreds of metres and then rear up into the packed rows of fans behind the barriers.
Initial reports suggested two people were hit, but not seriously hurt. At this early stage, however, the situation is unclear.
Following the incident on the hillclimb we’re pleased to confirm that there were no serious injuries and those involved were able to go back to enjoying the event.
