The 46-year-old British 400m runner — who competed at the 1996 Atlanta Olympics and won gold at the European and Commonwealth championships — said he is still shaken up.

He went on: “Unfortunately the car is gone, that’s written off. Thank goodness my son Teddy wasn’t in the car.

“What a year 2020’s been. Absolutely hate it.”

Thomas said he was just glad his toddler son Teddy wasn't with him.
