wheel fell off while driving wheel fell off while driving

Has anyone heard about this happening with any BMW's?

The hub failed at 75 mph, the front left wheel fell off and the 1997 525tds hit the concrete median and rolled 2 and 1/2 times.

fortunately no injuries.

I've heard of hub troubles on BMW's but this is much more worrisome.
