In September the car collided with another vehicle driven by a 74-year-old woman, mowing down a nearby traffic checkpoint.
Rashford is said to have immediately checked on the elderly driver as the shaken pair exchanged insurance details on the roadside.
Police officers present at the scene analyzed both drivers, but no arrests were made and the female driver decided not to go to hospital.
Maintenance engineer Peter Laycock caught the aftermath of the crash on his phone and arrived on the scene at around 12.20pm.
He explained that “lots of police” had blocked the road and asked vehicles to turn around because of the debris.
Mr Laycock said he saw people wearing United clothes as onlookers whispered ‘it’s Marcus Rashford’s car’.
