Dr Hassan, from Maidstone, Kent, said: "We were off on a four day holiday to Snowdonia and were coming back home in our Audi SUV, on A5 near Shrewsbury.
"We slowed down with other cars at a busy roundabout when this gentleman came out of nowhere at 70mph and rammed his car into us from behind.

"My partner also started walking behind me but she felt dizzy and slumped down on [the] side of the road for a few seconds to recover.

"She was an off duty nurse in acute medicine and they helped me to get him out of the car.
"My partner called the police and ambulance, who both were on scene in 20 to 25 minutes.''
The accident happened at around midday on Friday.
The Morgan driver was taken to hospital. Dr Hassan and his partner were also taken to hospital for neck and soft tissue injuries.
