Former X Factor contestant Cher Lloyd had a close call recently when the brakes on her car failed while she was driving with her two children. The 30-year-old singer took to Instagram to share the harrowing experience with her 2.8 million followers, warning others about potential dangers.
In a post on Tuesday night, Lloyd revealed that her £40,000 Ford Ranger experienced total brake failure without warning while she was on the road with her daughters Delilah-Rae, aged five, and Eliza Violet, aged eight months. She attributed the incident to “total engine failure due to the wet belt” and urged caution to anyone considering buying or owning a similar vehicle.
