Onlookers told how they feared the worst as they saw a powerful BMW M4 hurtle through the central reservation and career straight into the former England star’s custom Range Rover.

But, incredibly, cops later confirmed no one suffered serious injuries in the pile-up near Glasgow’s Clyde Tunnel, which also involved a third motor.

An eyewitness told The Scottish Sun on Sunday that Defoe was left “dazed” after the terrifying ordeal in Jordanhill.

He said: “Jermain and a lady, who looked like she was his girlfriend, were in the Range Rover, which had just come through the tunnel from Ibrox and was heading north.

“The BMW sports car was traveling south. It appeared somehow to go through the central reservation and clip Jermain’s motor.

“It was absolutely shocking to see. A really awful smash.

“I thought,‘ Oh no – someone is bound to be badly hurt here. ’

The witness said the female with ex-Spurs star Defoe appeared to be limping at the scene.

He added: “Jermain seemed OK. He looked a bit dazed but there was no blood on him.

“He seemed a lot more concerned for the woman he was with.

“She seemed hurt. She was complaining because both airbags in Defoe’s car had gone off. She also said she had a sore hip.

“Jermain was a real gent, though, and was only concerned for others around him.

“The area was soon swarming with ambulances and police cars. To be honest, it’s a miracle everyone walked away unharmed. ”

A second eyewitness told us: “The BMW went through the reservation and clipped a car then smashed into Jermain’s Range Rover, which was blown to smithereens. It was a total write-off.

“I’m told another player was in the Range Rover with Jermain but I don’t know who it was.

“Jermain’s girlfriend was there too. He seemed OK, which is amazing given the severity of what happened.

“But other people were definitely shocked.

Last night,Defoe posted a message on Instagramto thank fans for their messages of support after his ordeal.

Admitting the smash had left him “in shock”, he joked: “You must have all been so worried. But I’m fine. I’m just going to head home and rest up. ”

A Police Scotland spokesman said: “We were called to reports of a three-car road traffic collision along Balshagray Avenue at 6. 05 pm on Saturday evening. There were no injuries. ”

Cops later added: “A 23 – year-old man will be reported to the procurator fiscal. ”
