Explaining that the card had been given to Lucy by his grandmother, she wrote in the accompanying caption: “We’re not religious but thank you St Joseph for saving my love.

“Gary’s gran gave him this, it had words about safety and protection on the other side. I pulled it out of his bag yesterday morning just before his accident.”

Lucy himself appeared to think someone was looking out for him too.

Sharing details of the crash on his own social media account, including two photos of the wreckage.

“Someone was watching over me today,” he wrote, joking he was “Gary nine lives”.
