Monty Cheats...Death In Car Accident; IMG Lays Groundwork For BMW Sponsorship

The Daily Record has all of the details of Monty's car A80 accident.

A shaken Monty said: "I was driving through road works when a van travelling towards me suddenly burst through the cones and slammed into me.

"A fraction of a second later my car was hit by a lorry and another car as well and I began spinning out of control.

"I was trapped as the side of the car was compressed and the air bags were holding me back - but the passenger door suddenly opened and I was pulled to safety thanks to other drivers who had witnessed the accident.

Wow, those are some strong people! I mean, emotionally, to gather themselves and help such a large, err...significant man out in a time of need.

"It was a terrible shock and I am lucky to have come out of it relatively unscathed - thanks I am sure to the car I was driving."

Well it's good that he has such a sturdy car, since after all, he does have a bit of history with speeding and a suspended license.

A spokesman for the golfer said: "Colin Montgomerie suffered shock and severe bruising to his left side after his BMW 7 series was struck by a transit van that swerved across the road into the path of his car.

Chop, chop Guy Kinnings, get Munich on the line. The synergy here is too good to be true!
