“My wife and I were on o🐬ur way to a caravan to begin our holiday and were driving on the dual carriageway.

“It was making a really loud booming noise as it overt♌ꦇook.

“There was a light rain andܫ the surface may have been slippery.

“'I watched as the car sped into the tunnel💧 and then he seemed to suddenly lose co🃏ntrol. He hit one wall, span round into the other, which he bounced off before finally coming to a halt.

“It was a spectacular crash🧜 and quite terrifying. My wife was quite shaken and I was concerned the car might explode so I drew to a halt and waited to check that he was ok.

“A man got out of the car and he seemed completely oಞk. He was j🔯ust worried about the damage to the car. Once we knew he was ok we went on our way and it wasn't until later that I discovered that it was a famous car.”
