A Czech lorry driver has been pulled over after he continued driving with only three wheels.

Ales Stastna only realised his front wheel had fallen off after police stopped him, according to Orange News.

The 38-year-old said that he had just finished a marathon delivery shift and was suffering from exhaustion.

"I could have sworn it was there when I set off," he told officers.

Police spokesman Gabriel Holcakova said: "He's lucky he didn't kill himself or cause a serious accident.

"He was given a warning, his truck was impounded and he had three points put on his licence."
