Terrifying moment huge wheel breaks off a tractor and bounces into the windscreen of a passing car in Russia

• The incident took place in Belgorod, southern Russia, incredibly no one was hurt 
• A car passes a tractor just as the tractor's wheel breaks free from the axle 
• The wheel smashes into the cars windscreen causing it to skid to a stop

This is the wheel spinning moment a tractor loses a tyre and grinds along a road on its sparking axle, wiping out a passing car in the process.

The terrifying incident took place in Belgorod, southern Russia, at 3.50pm last Thursday as the tractor navigated icy roads at a moderate speed.

A car can be seen overtaking the tractor along a quiet road while another, recording via dash cam, follows closely behind at around 20 mph.

Moments later, in a bout of incredibly bad timing, a car passes the tractor from the opposite direction just as the tractor's wheel breaks free from the axle. 

The wheel is thrown across the road and smashes into the windscreen of the passing car, causing it to skid to a stop.  

Without a wheel the tractor's axle creates sparks as it grinds along the road eventually coming to a standstill as its shocked driver looks over his shoulder. 

Although the car sustained significant damage incredibly the driver walked away unscathed. 

The incident took place at 3.50pm last Thursday. 

A witness driving the car behind said: 'The rear wheel of the tractor broke away as a car was driving past.

'The driver didn't have a chance to react and collided with the heavy wheel. 

'The car was badly damaged, however, the driver was luckily not injured.'
