was coming down slip road to join m20 and the rear hub basically clapsed on it self and left me with my wheel going along side me while i tried to control the car but didnt like any of it ended up doing a 360 and smashing the rear quarter on the inside rails then bounce of and did another 360 onto the hard shoulder side ways.
luckly enough i walked away with a headache and bruised arm.
could of easily spun into the traffic already on the motor way and would of been game over for me.

worn wheel bearins or poorly adjusted wheel bearings cause it normally.
