This is the shocking moment a runaway lorry tyre mowed down a group playing cards inside a home.

Four individuals were seated at a table in a living room when the double ghost wheel suddenly bounced into the house near a roadside in Hunan, China.

The rogue heavy rubber tyre can be seen crashing into them, while a startled black dog sleeping on the floor scurried away in fear on May 8.

The wheel knocked the residents to the ground, leaving three of them injured from the impact.

Paramedics were called to the scene and swiftly transported the injured victims to a nearby hospital.

The cause of the incident is currently under investigation, with authorities examining whether it was due to mechanical failure or human error.
