He added: "Defoe seemed OK. He was a bit dazed looking. There was no blood. 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 was complaining of a sore hip too which might have been from the seatbelt pre-tensioners.
"He was a real gent though and only concerned for others around him.
"The area was soon swarming with police and ambulance types.
"But, looking at it, it's a miracle everyone walked away unharmed to be honest."
