Moment man’s penis is ‘smashed to bits’ by out-of-control car

A garage owner had his manhood crushed by an out-of-control car, leaving him unsure if his ‘unrecognisable’ penis still works.

Karl Farrar was struggling to reverse the BMW Estate into his garage to work on it so he put the handbrake on and jumped out of the vehicle.

But as the 49-year-old got out of the car during the incident on June 16, it began rolling down the ramp.

Footage showed Karl unsuccessfully trying to stop the vehicle rolling by pushing on it before eventually being smashed against the wall.

Karl can be seen yelling desperately for help before a staff member tries to help him by getting in the car and attempting to drive it away.

However Karl says the car was still in reverse gear so it went backwards further, crushing him again before the member of staff eventually manoeuvred the vehicle away from him.

The wince-inducing video then shows him collapsing in the centre of the shop floor, unable to get back up.

He was taken to Manchester Royal Infirmary by ambulance, where he stayed for a week, and doctors told him he had suffered soft tissue damage to his pelvic area and groin after an MRI.

Karl says he has been unable to watch the CCTV footage back himself as it is too ‘traumatic’ for him.

He’s also admitted some areas of his manhood are unrecognisable and he is still unsure if they ‘work or function’.

Karl, from Hyndburn, Lancashire, said: ‘My man bits were smashed to bits. They were swollen, they were black and blue and unrecognisable in one bit.

‘I don’t know if they work or function because the area is very painful and sore still, but I think it’ll be okay. It was scary for a couple of weeks though. It’s Final Destination stuff.

He added: ‘A lot of the damage is soft tissue and nerve damage. Luckily nothing broke. It was obviously very painful, but I’m not one for being amazingly soft.

‘The scariest thing for me was when they had me on the floor and they were trying to put my leg straight, and I couldn’t bear it because the pain was too bad.’

He said they later found out the car had an issue with its handbrake and he estimates the vehicle weighs around 1,800kg.

He said the car was also battered so workers at his garage fitted it with two new doors and fixed its rear.

Karl said: ‘The car was put in reverse twice, so that crushed my leg harder into the booth. I’m now hobbling about, but there’s still some pretty grim internal damage and a hole in my groin area.

‘That said, I’ve done way better than the doctors and physio thought I would at this point.’
