Some of you may have seen this before. All three wheel studs had sheared.
The hero bit is me thinking "bugger it, why stop in the road?"
So I just kept going round the corner.
Pints of beer while gazing at the hub.
It took ages to find the wheel it was well buried in the undergrowth.

In the early 1960s my eldest brother ran a big end in his Morris 8 somewhere near Tenby.
He carefully dropped the sump at the roadside complete with oil.
Identified the failed big end. Removed that con rod and piston.
Reassembled and drove back to Gloucester.
Apparently in that guise it went faster and was more economical!
