The car was severely damaged by the impact
Police have said it was a "miracle" nobody was injured when a large tyre came loose, crossed a motorway and smashed into a car windscreen.
Gloucestershire Police said the trailer tyre hit the Volkswagen on the northbound M5 near junction 11 at about 12:15 BST on Monday.
"It's a miracle no-one was injured but it could easily have proved fatal," said the force.
It is "vital" owners of trailers check they are roadworthy, it added.
