Safe to drive on 4 lugs?

So long story short, I somehow managed to strip 1 of the bolts on my rear driver side, as well as the lugnut that was on it. So now I'm stuck with a stripped lugnut, and a stripped bolt. I am 60 miles from home. Will it be safe to drive the 60 miles until I can get a new bolt put on? Or will my tire fly off when I'm driving down the highway at 75 mph?

Oh, and btw, how much will a new bolt cost? I don't know how to do it, so I will have to take it to the shop to get it done.... any estimates?
 


You can drive with one missing. SHould not cost too much to get it replaced. I have seen cars come into the shop with only 3 and not know anything was missing.
 
i was down a couple once, didnt evan know it, shoud only be a few seconds to have it installed,and the lugnut itself is only a couple bucks
 
Alright cool. This is the 1st time its ever happened to me, so I was kinda worried that my tire might fly off while I was driving home lol.
 
Yea I worked for Discount tire co fro 2 1/2 years and know for a fact it is just fine. Just make sure the other lugs are torqued to spec. If memory serves me it is 100 lb/ft.
