Wishing to remain anonymous, the driver spoke to the Oxford Mail about the ordeal he, his wife and his five-month-old baby.
“It was me driving with my deaf wife in the back with our five-month-old and it shook us,” he said.
“We felt really vulnerable at the point and kept thinking and talking about the consequences had it collided with us or any other vehicle.”
