Nihal Arthanayake was involved in a motorway crash on the M60 that involved his wife and child.
The TV presenter, 53, shared an image of his car on X, that showed the impact on the back of the car which was hit by a lorry.
‘Two hours ago a lorry hit a car which hit me on the M60,’ he revealed in the post.
‘I clung onto that steering wheel for dear life to try and keep the car steady and not hit the central reservation.
‘Wife next to me and son in the back. Terrifying.’
The radio personality confirmed there were no fatalities: ‘Everyone walked away from the crash.’

Taking to Instagram to share the full story, the radio presenter explained that he thought he may have been in ‘shock’ after this scary ordeal, and that the driver of the car involved in the incident was ‘lucky to be alive’.
‘Well, this just happened. As I passed the lorry in the middle lane unbeknownst to me that same lorry had hit a car in front of it which came sliding sideways across the middle lane and hit me on the back passenger door and ripped off a side of the car over the back wheel.
‘I struggled to take control trying to prevent my car spinning out of control and hitting the central reservation. As I held on to the steering wheel for dear life trying to steady my car all I could think about was my wife sitting next to me and my son in the back of the car and making sure my car did not spin out of control.
‘The driver of the car that hit me is lucky to be alive. As I think we all are too.
He then added that he’d never been in a crash before and believed he was taking to social media to share his story to ‘process’ what had happened.
‘Not sure why I am telling you all this from the side of the M60. My wife is talking to the police. I have never been involved in a car crash before. No serious harm done as far as we can tell. Most likely in shock. Perhaps that’s why I am posting this, as a way of processing it myself. F**k.’
