scare while driving on Friday as a 40ft electricity pylon crashed onto a car in front of the Liverpool star&#8217;s Range Rover when he was out driving in 70mph winds, as reported by the Sun.<\/p>\n<p>The 25-year-old was out driving on a wet rural road near Knutsford, Cheshire when he had to swerve to avoid the high-voltage power unit and collided with a BMW X5 in doing so.<\/p>\n<p>It was a near-miss for Alexander-Arnold as the electrical pylon lay scrapped on the road&#8217;s banking, with the huge infrastructure capable of inflicting serious damage if it had fallen on the footballer&#8217;s luxury vehicle.<\/p>\n<p>The power line, that weighs half a ton, careered down on top of the other vehicle at the scene with Alexander-Arnold and the BMW driver fortunately escaping the incident unhurt.<\/p>\n<p>However, the England international was reportedly shaken by incident with a witness explaining it was a shock nobody had been killed in the startling countryside accident caused by the devastating Storm Babet sweeping across the nation.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\"

was still seriously damaged by the accident with the \u00a390,000 black Range Rover smashed and missing pieces of its front-left bumper, while the headlight was also broken.<\/p>\n<p>Electrical wires from inside the vehicle&#8217;s bonnet are visible through remnants of the destroyed bumper with parts of the car shown to be barely hanging on as a result of the impact.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, the white BMW is missing a headlight that is strewn across the middle of the road with the front-left wheel sitting on its rim and a huge crack in the side of the bodywork visible.<\/p>\n<p>Police were called to the scene during the morning hours on Friday and the electrical supply running through the huge pylon was turned off.<\/p>\n<p>Alexander-Arnold was later involved in team training with Liverpool
