As a result of the accident, a 45-year-old passenger in the Land Rover sustained injuries. He was taken to hospital. A 17-year-old passenger in the BMW was also injured. He was taken to hospital for observation.

What did the MP say?

Labaziuk confirmed that he was involved in a road traffic accident.

"I was in the back passenger seat, yet despite this I suffered fractures, bruises and a number of other injuries. We were driving calmly within the speed limit (there’s nowhere to speed up there). Unfortunately, the BMW driver saw an opportunity, veered into our (oncoming) lane and caused a head-on collision," the MP wrote.

To back up his claims, the MP released a video.
