A garage owner is worried that his penis may no longer work after it became 'unrecognisable' following an incident where he was crushed by a car.
Karl Farrar was trying to get a BMW Estate into his garage but was struggling to reverse the vehicle so he put on the handbrake and got out of the car.
However, once he was out of the car it started rolling down the ramp it was on towards him, with Karl unsuccessfully attempting to stop it with his hands before the car crushed him against a wall.

A staff member came to help by getting into the car and driving it away from the wall, though it was in reverse at first so crushed him more initially, and once he was free Karl quite understandably ended up on the ground in what appeared to be an awful lot of pain.
He was taken to Manchester Royal Infirmary and kept there for a week, with doctors telling him he'd suffered soft tissue damage to his groin and pelvic area.
The 49-year-old garage owner said he's not sure if his penis still works after it ended up becoming 'unrecognisable' in the crush.
He 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."
For a couple of days after he was crushed, he couldn't move his right leg and found it 'scary' as there were discussions about him possibly losing the leg, while he was on a ward with some patients who had their legs amputated.

He said he reckoned he was 'pretty unlucky ', considering he'd been racing cars for 16 years without injury and been done in by a BMW.
It later turned out that the BMW had an issue with its handbrake, and as a result the car that Karl reckons weighs around 1,800kg rolled into him.
The 49-year-old doesn't want to watch the video, saying it's 'traumatic' for him, but said he'd become 'brave enough' to share it with other people now.
He said: "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."
