Martin – who plays DS Steve Arnott in the hit drama – was not hurt in the accident, but was left “very shaken.”
The cab driver, Derek Burton, claimed that the accident came out of nowhere, as he was driving the actor to his hotel.
“There was a thundering bang,” he said. “I thought it was a bomb. Martin screamed. We didn’t know what happened. We hadn’t seen the truck.”
He claimed that it was the size of the truck that made the accident so dangerous, as it wasn’t going that fast.
“It smashed into where he was sitting. Martin’s door was bashed in. It was probably doing 10mph but was so big it destroyed the cab.”
The actor took to twitter to joke about the accident, and reassure his fans that he was ok – referencing the show’s mysterious “H.”
