This footage shows the moment a lorry suddenly loses two wheels on a busy ring road as the driver struggles to stop the vehicle from flipping over.

The incident took place on the Saint Petersburg ring road in Russia, on 25th April, with the video, filmed from another vehicle on the road, showing the Gazelle lorry driving along the road when the wheels suddenly came off.

The footage shows the rear left wheel coming off the vehicle before a second wheel is seen dancing down the road towards the vehicle filming.

The other motorists react quickly and veer to avoid the debris, slowing down to avoid an accident.

The lorry driver manages to keep the vehicle from flipping over and pulls over onto the hard shoulder as the footage ends.

It is currently unclear if anyone was injured in the incident.
