It might be Wiser to has a look at each wheel... and under the car to see if a ROAD-HAZARD has taken out speed sensor... or a similar SAFETY SYSTEMS impairment... Getting a FREE read from an AUTOZONE (were they're very likely to try to peddle OXYGEN SENSORS... (even if your wheel & tire are gone (in MY opinion))... might be better WITH ALL THAT rather than trying to LIMP home...

Your description indicates the engine/coolant thermostat is faulty and allowing at least some coolant to continue circulating so at higher road speeds the engine is over cooled.
