A WOMAN cheated death when her car bonnet flipped up on a busy motorway.

Terrified Jessica Taylor, 23, was hospitalised after her Renault Clio car spun out of control on the M1.

The Huddersfield driver’s bonnet flipped open as she drove home from visiting her boyfriend in London, smashing the windscreen and completely blocking her view of the road.

The car span across the four lane motorway and came to a halt pointing the wrong way with a lorry bearing down on her.

The lorry managed to stop in time, but Jessica clipped at least one other car as she veered out of control at 9pm last Friday.

The strange thing is, if you do a google image search for clio bonnet windscreen, all the press articles seem to come up with a female driver, doing 70mph in the 'fast' lane...

Moral of the story: If you're a woman, stay out of the fast lane... Or something

A MOTORIST has hit out at car company Renault over its handling of the Clio bonnet scandal.

Holmfirth resident Simon Thomas has revealed his Clio bonnet flipped up while he was driving on the M62 in February 2010.

The bonnet lay flat against his windscreen but he managed to pull the car over and no-one was injured.

Mr Thomas’ revelation comes after The Examiner reported Golcar woman Jessica Taylor’s terrifying M1 smash.

Ms Taylor’s ended up in hospital after her Renault Clio bonnet flipped up as she drove back to Huddersfield on Good Friday.

The 23-year-old is now recovering at home after her car was sent spinning across the motorway, writing it off.

In a statement to The Examiner Renault said it had issued a recall on second generation Clios in 2007.
