A businessman has been teased on Twitter for trying to use his brush with death as an opportunity to post on LinkedIn and write to Elon Musk.

Michael Finnigan described the incident with another driver as a ‘second from a head-on collision’ which could have killed both.

The founder of professional training and coaching business, Impossible 2 Inevitable, alleged he was stationary at a junction when another driver went into him.

Mr Finnigan, from Tarleton, claimed both motorists walked away ‘without a scratch’, only a sore back, hand and head.

He wrote: ‘How lucky are we? Be grateful today please…’

But in a bizarre twist of events the businessman thought the near-death experience would be the ‘perfect opportunity’ to connect with Tesla co-founder, Elon Musk.
