Terrifying footage shows family inches from death as car sent flying through air
16.02.2022 - 01:37 / dailyrecord.co.uk
This is the terrifying moment a drink-driver lost control of his car and sent it flying through the air - narrowly missing a family by mere inches.
Patrick Williams had been spotted by other motorists driving recklessly before his vehicle skidded, rolled and was launched off the road.
Officers say he nearly crashed into and killed an entire family who were also travelling on the A433 between Cirencester and Tetbury in Gloucestershire, on April 2 last year.
The shocking dashcam recording was released by Gloucestershire Police, who condemned Williams' life-threatening actions after he was handed a suspended prison sentence.
Authorities say the Musty family, who had taken their teen son on a driving lesson at the time of smash, were lucky to have escaped with their lives.
Speaking after the case, dad Andrew Musty said they were all still very shaken up by what happened and were within seconds of losing their lives.
He said: “My 17-year-old son was a learner driver and his quick reactions saved our lives; if he hadn’t swerved onto the verge, Williams' blue Peugeot would have crashed through our front windscreen as it flew through the air, and my son and my wife in the back of the car would probably have been killed.
"Immediately after the impact, I turned my head expecting to see my son motionless and covered in blood, but by some miracle Williams' flying car somehow skimmed us leaving only blue paint marks, scratches, and bullet-shaped dents from the flying debris, and my son escaped unscathed.
"This was a traumatic experience for all of us, and the flashbacks and nightmares are a constant reminder of how lucky we are to have survived."
Gloucestershire Police said a number of witnesses at the scene had stopped to help and

Patti Smith on How She Came to Love Substack: ‘I Like the Idea That the Reader Hangs Out With the Writer’
A.D. Amorosi When Patti Smith joined Substack — the now-five-year-old online platform that publishes and pays writers on a subscription model — the poet, author and Rock and Roll Hall of Famer had been stuck at home in New York City after having canceled a world tour due to COVID.Starting with her tagline (“The reader is my notebook”), and moving into her serialized, on-line novel (“The Melting,” currently 44 chapters long), Smith’s “journal of my private pandemic” promised “an inter-connective body of work for a responsive community,” filled with “ruminations, shards of poetry, music, and musings on whatever subject finds its way from thought to pen, news of the mind, pieces of this world.” Rather than maintain a diary’s staid setting, the communally driven Smith engages her subscriber base with freshly penned songs and poetry readings of her her heroes’ work and her own.
