A Stirling woman has revealed that a loaf of bread helped save her life during a car crash.

Mother-of-two Liz Douglas explained that her £1.15 medium-sliced Hovis Soft White loaf cushioned her head after her car hit a telegraph pole.

Her Nissan Note became a write-off after it flipped over, but thankfully she walked away with just minor cuts and bruises.

She told The Mirror: "It stopped my head hitting the top of the car, and saved my life.

"I've written Hovis an email to say thank you. I'll always feel a certain loyalty to it now."

Douglas added that she has kept the loaf of bread as a reminder of the incident.

Blimey, glad she survived the crash.
