Horror moment garage owner's penis is CRUSHED by an out-of-control car leaving it 'unrecognisable'
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.
Terrifying footage shows Karl unsuccessfully trying to stop the vehicle rolling by pushing on it before eventually being smashed against the wall.
He 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 collapse 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 docs told him he has 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.
Most worryingly, he admits that some areas of his manhood are unrecognisable and he is still unsure if they 'work or function' but he remains hopeful it is OK.
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.
'My sensitive man area got smashed into my stomach and the belt buckle went into my stomach. 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.
'The fact that I've done drifting racing for 16 years and drag racing and never hurt myself [but have now] injured myself on a random runaway car is pretty unlucky.
'For a couple of days I couldn't really move my right leg and that was scary because they [the doctors] said it had this crushing injury and I didn't really understand it.
'They were talking to people about maybe losing my lower leg and having to cut from top to bottom and I was on a ward with people who had legs off and were having legs off. That scared me.
'I think it's traumatic [the video]. I don't want to see it.'
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: 'Many people have asked what's happened and I've struggled to explain properly so here you go.
'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.
'I've been brave enough to download the video and share it so I know I was dumb trying to stop it it all happened so fast so be kind.'
One commented: 'You're gonna have to start wearing a Cape now.'
A second said: 'Lucky lucky man.'
A third added: 'That could have been a lot worse, glad you're on the mend.'

The destruction of Iran's nuclear programmes opens the door to a better future for citizens like me
The dismantling of the Ayatollah's dangerous nuclear sites is a defining moment for millions of us ordinary Iranians who have dared to dream that one day the country's repressive theocratic regime may fall. For the first time, I have hope in my heart. Twenty-eight years ago, I fled Iran to save my life and find freedom in the UK. I was arrested twice in Iran due to my outspoken opposition to the regime. Following my second arrest, I learned that it was planning to eliminate me. I had no choice but to leave. You can never truly escape a regime of this nature, though. Iran's tentacles now threaten us here, with its active promotion of extremism, and MI5 have revealed that they have foiled more than 20 terror plots from Iran's brutal Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps since 2022. It has heavily invested in British charities, mosques and communities in order to destroy the very foundations of what we stand for and destroy us from within. Alert to the emerging threat, two and a half years ago, I made the difficult decision to sacrifice the very freedom I once sought for myself. I have lived on the streets ever since, away from my wife, the Conservative councillor Mattie Heaven, my home, and my family, risking my life every day that I am in the peace camp opposite the Foreign and Commonwealth Office. Repeatedly subject to verbal and physical attacks by agents of the IRGC freely acting on British soil, I treat every day as my last. I've been threatened with beheading, with a large knife later discovered on one of the assailants by the police. A fatwa has even been issued against me. The destruction of Iran's nuclear programmes opens the door to a better future for the citizens of Iran. This historic people have suffered for 47 long years. The butchers of Tehran have perpetrated grisly human rights abuses, with public hangings a daily horror and women beaten for the 'crime' of not wearing a hijab 'correctly.' Is it any surprise that 80 per cent of the Iranian public oppose the Iranian regime? Shaken to its core, the regime has again turned to what it knows best. More than 700 people have been arrested over the last two weeks on spurious claims that they aided Israel, including rabbis and other senior Jewish leaders. Executions are also on the rise again. It is nothing more than a desperate attempt to silence critics and forestall an uprising against the teetering regime. The internet was taken down for days on end. Human rights groups are sounding the alarm over unfair trials and forced confessions. Journalists and their families have been threatened, including those from the BBC. Internet access continues to be restricted. We can ill afford not to prepare for the regime's impending collapse. The arduous work must be completed now to ensure Iran's next chapter is not written in blood or chaos, but in law, democracy, and the will of the people. Iran's once great civil society has been mercilessly eroded by the regime and needs the support of the international community and the Iranian diaspora to usher in a new Iran. It is why the Iranian Front for the Revival of Law and National Sovereignty, which I recently launched in the European Parliament with cross-party support, is working flat out to produce the necessary legal framework to stabilise the country, protect citizens and pave the way for a freely elected Constituent Assembly. It is inspiring that representatives of Iran's richly diverse ethnic, religious and political groups are engaging with the initiative, as well as many of those who were forced into exile. There can be no going back to the status quo, which has crushed the Iranian people and caused untold suffering throughout the region, including the deaths of British soldiers and British citizens wasting away in Iran's grim jails. The UK Government must embrace this historic moment and join our groundbreaking efforts. After all, the advancement of democracy and equality in an unstable world is good for the people of Britain. It will also eradicate Iran's deep role in people smuggling and drug trafficking, which are destabilising British society. The challenges of regime change are significant, but they are incomparable to the vast opportunities it would bring not only for the people of Iran but for the security, stability, and prosperity of the entire world. A free, democratic Iran would be a turning point for the region and a beacon of hope for global peace. The Iranian people have shown remarkable resilience and it is our duty to prepare the ground for a better future – one of democracy, equality and freedom.

Trainee priest 'sexually assaulted worshippers' at booze-addled cathedral where choristers 'did last seven shots of Christ drinking game'
A trainee priest is alleged to have sexually assaulted two worshippers while drunk at a cathedral where choristers played a last seven shots of Christ drinking game. Serious complaints have been made about 'a culture in which sexual boundaries seemed blurred' at Bangor Cathedral with one of the victims coming forward. One of the trainee's alleged victims said she was assaulted at the Cathedral's booze-addled Oktoberfest event in 2022. She explained that the priest-in-training had consumed copious amounts of alcohol which led to the assault. 'He had had considerably too much to drink,' she told the BBC. 'I'd already warned people that night he's drinking a lot more than everyone else. So these warning signs were ignored and that led to that assault.' The Church in Wales confirmed that two people complained about the man's behavior and his priest training was not taken forward. Despite reporting the assault and receiving an apology, she said the intense drinking culture at the church did not change. She explained that after a cathedral concert on Good Friday in 2023, where the choir sang seven songs to mark the Seven Last Words of Christ - the seven last sentences that Jesus spoke from the cross - choristers and priests went for a drink. To mark the occasion they all decided to do 'the seven last shots of Christ'. Meanwhile, Esme Byrd, 29, who was a lay clerk at Bangor Cathedral for six months said there was an 'unhealthy' culture of binge drinking at the church. Ms Byrd, who sang with the choir until she left in January said she was deeply concerned about the wellbeing of younger members of the choir. 'I looked around and I just thought, this is not safe,' Esme told the BBC. 'This is not a safe and nurturing and good environment for children to be in.' She left the church after her concerns were ignored and a lack of action was taken. The claims come days after the Archbishop of Wales announced his sudden retirement following a critical report into the drinking culture at Bangor Cathedral. Most Reverend Andrew John said he would also be stepping down from his role as Bishop of Bangor on August 31. The report included claims of excessive drinking and 'inappropriate language' being used in front of younger members of the choir. Announcing his retirement on Friday, Mr John said: 'It has been an enormous joy to serve in the Church in Wales for over 35 years. 'I would very much like to thank the clergy and congregations of this wonderful diocese before I retire.' While no mention of the report was made in his retirement announcement, Mr John has previously faced calls to resign. Ruth Jones, Labour MP for Newport West and Islwyn, said: 'We want openness and transparency in all our church settings and it's really, really important that the archbishop makes clear what has gone on.' Two priests from within Bangor Cathedral have also called an independent inquiry following the report into the church's culture. Mr John previously offered his 'most heartfelt apology to any members of the cathedral community who have been hurt or who feel I have let them down'. Mr John assumed the role of Bishop of Bangor in 2008. He was elected Archbishop of Wales in December 2021 and was the 14th person to hold the title.
