Car Loses All Wheels At Once On Swiss Highway

Passengers of a car traveling on a motorway in Switzerland made a big mistake when they changed into their summer wheels themselves, as they entered the highway all four wheels disconnected simultaneously, bringing them to a sudden stop.
The problem was that they presumably used the winter wheel nuts when mounting their summer set. Fortunately, nothing was injured beyond a little pride. [Yahoo]
Sorry to ruin the fun, but that picture is of an expressway in Northern France, not Switzerland. Note the control cities of Nantes and Bordeaux on the right and Rouen on the left. All three of these cities are in the northern to western sections of France.
Sorry to be a total git.
