Thankfully he said there were no injuries, but he shared pictures of his damaged car.

John thanked thanked police in Wales who helped him following the crash, and he posed for pictures with two officers.

On his Instagram page John said: "I was driving to catch a ferry to Ireland when something happened!!

"To avoid a car that was swerving to avoid a 'big chicken' as I overtook I ended up like this.

"Nobody was hurt thanks to @landrover_uk being brilliant and no oncoming traffic.

"I missed my ferry but went on as a foot passenger on a later one thank to James and Tony from @dyfedpowyspolice.

"Amazing how helpful people can be when you need them and thanks to the other drivers for staying including Andrew who I think sadly hit the 'big chicken' anyway."
