Concent creator Roz Purcell has opened up about her horror M50 crash experience where the car she was in ended up trapped under a lorry.
The former Miss Universe and her eldest sister Rebecca were caught up in the terrifying incident 10 years ago. Roz, now 32, told yesterday how the nightmare left her “traumatised”.
Roz told Doireann Garrihy on the Laughs of your Life podcast: “I got into a really bad car crash before, severely bad. I wasn’t driving, my sister was driving, we got stuck under a lorry on the M50.
“It’s why I didn’t learn to drive until I was 28, it’s my excuse and I’m sticking to it. I was traumatised.”

The influencer explained that they were trying to turn onto a slip road but the lorry never saw them.
“He came into our lane, didn’t see us because we were obviously in a blind spot,” she said.
“He clipped the back of the car and we turned into the front of the lorry. It’s the weirdest sensation because the car kind of lifted up and it’s slow-mo and then you just flip under.
“And my sister was going ‘are you OK? Are you OK?’ I had my phone in my hand and I just kept really selfishly going ‘Oh my god I’ve so much life to live, can’t believe I’m not going to achieve it’.”
Roz said that the lorry driver was alerted by other cars that their vehicle was stuck underneath and he pulled over.
She revealed: “Eventually the truck stopped, I think he felt something but he couldn’t see so we kind of skidded out and then the car eventually stopped and we jumped out of the car.
“And every car on either side stopped, they were all running towards us, ‘I can’t believe you are alive.’”
