TONY McCOY, the record-breaking 20-time champion jockey who retired from the saddle in April, escaped unhurt on Wednesday morning when the car he was driving was involved in a three-vehicle motorway pile-up.
The M4 was closed between Hungerford and Swindon while police and emergency services attended the scene, reopening after the carriageway was cleared of the wreckage.
Speaking to the Racing Post on Wednesday, McCoy, 41, said: "I'm fine and so is the other person in the car. We were involved in an accident on the M4 between junctions 14 and 15."
McCoy, who rode more than 4,000 winners in an unmatched career, added: "A van and a car collided in front of us and I ended up with nowhere to go as a result.
"Fortunately nobody was injured but all the vehicles were badly damaged."
