A broken down BMW was towed along a busy A-road on its rims as sparks flew off the wheels.

The blue 1 Series – worth about £30,000 – was on the back of the truck.

It has its hazard light on.

But the tyres on the back wheels so worn the metal rims were touching the road.

One witness – a passenger in a passing vehicle – told Need To Know: “I was on the A406 and noticed the car.

“It was smoking and there was burning from the tyres.”

One local joked: “Meanwhile on the A406 North Circular.”
