Abbey Clancy: I'm lucky to be alive after car crash

WAG says her Mini spun out of control on the motorway

Monday, 2 June 2008

Abbey Clancy says she’s lucky to be alive after being involved in a motorway smash earlier this year.

The WAG – who's dating Liverpool footballer Peter Crouch, 27 – says she spun out of control in her Mini convertible on the M56 in Cheshire.

The vehicle somersaulted after she swerved to avoid a bumper that had fallen off another car and was lying in the fast lane.

'My car spun, tipped over, knocked the barrier down and went into the lane for on-coming traffic,' she says.

‘I felt my life flashing before me. It was so quick but it felt like slow motion. I was just hanging onto the wheel.

'I must have had a million angels looking after me that day. If I hadn't had my seatbelt on I would have been dead.’

Abbey, 22, was taken to nearby Warrington Hospital but fortunately escaped unscathed.

‘Afterwards, I couldn't stand up,’ she tells the Daily Mirror. ‘I was shaking and crying.

'It really put life into perspective. I realised you should have fun, be happy and stop moaning.’
