UK — A MOTORIST had a miracle escape today after his car was crushed by an Army tank from Warminster, police said.
The tracked Army personnel carrier, used to transport troops, collided head on with the Citroen BX in Melbury Abbas, Dorset.
The front of the car was completely crushed in the collision on the C13 this morning after 9am.
“The car was a write-off and the male driver was completely uninjured,” a Dorset Police spokesman said.
He added: “In the armoured personnel carrier was a male driver. There were several military personnel on board this armoured personnel carrier which was from Warminster in Wiltshire and I gather it was involved in driver training.”
The 42-year-old car driver from Blandford, Dorset, and the man driving the tank were both shocked but unhurt.
“A miraculous escape for the male car driver from Blandford,” the spokesman added.
Dorset Fire Service and ambulance crews attended and the Army was due to recover the personnel carrier.
