A motorist was lucky not to be decapitated when a 10kg tow bar fell off another vehicle and smashed through his windscreen.
Jonathan Loates, 30, was left with a gaping wound in his skull when the piece of metal hit his BMW on the A619 near Worksop, in Nottinghamshire, on January 9. The recruitment consultant managed to pull over to the side of the road before collapsing to the ground.
He was travelling along a 40mph stretch of road when the accident happened.
