The England international was reportedly rattled, with a witness commenting that it was remarkable no one had been killed in the shocking disaster in the countryside brought on by the deadly Storm Babet that was sweeping the country.

The defender exited his Range Rover after ramming into the side of the BMW and made sure the other driver was okay.

His £90,000 black Range Rover, which also had a broken headlight and pieces missing from its front-left bumper, was severely damaged by the collision.

Parts of the automobile are shown to be barely hanging on as a result of the hit, and electrical cables from inside the vehicle's bonnet are visible through the shattered bumper.
