Mystery note left on mum's car window which saved her from potential crash

A mum has claimed a mystery motorist left a note on her car which saved her from a potential accident whilst driving home.

Teaching assistant Dawn Ashford-Williams had been enjoying lunch with family at a nearby Pizza Hut when she returned to the car park to find the anonymous, handwritten message pinned to her windscreen.

The 37-year-old from Brymbo in Wrexham saw that it was advising her to check the air pressure in one of her tyres.

"I took a look at it straight away," said Dawn, who was about to journey home with her son Kian, nine, and nephew Connor, eight, in the back.

"The tyre wasn’t completely flat but it was flat enough. So I drove straight to a garage to put some more air in it."

Having checked her tyres only a few days previously, Dawn suspected her car may have suffered a slow puncture en route to the restaurant.

It left her relieved that someone had stepped in to prevent a potentially bad accident, reported North Wales Live.

"Who knows, I could have had a major blow-out on the way home, or got stranded in the middle of nowhere with the kids onboard.

"So whoever this person was, they may have saved me from a serious accident or something."

Wanting to thank her Good Samaritan she also turned to Facebook to express her gratitude.

"I just thought I’d write something, saying thank you in the hope they'd see it," said Dawn.

"I just wanted to put some positivity out there for a change."
