While it has yet to be seen how David makes his way out of the harrowing situation, the incident comes after a string of unfortunate events for David.
On Christmas Day, his wife Shona (played by Julia Goulding) was shot, leading to severe memory loss after she regained consciousness.
Devastated after realising that his partner no longer remembers him, things only got worse when an exhausted David drove his two children from an event and crashed the car into a skip.
After being informed that the car was damaged beyond control, he’s left worrying about how to see Shona, who is receiving treatment several miles away.
Regretting his decision? David appears petrified as he sprints across the road

The latest in Ben’s dramatic life comes after it was reported that Coronation Street bosses are reportedly lining up a new deal for star Sam Aston.
Sources have claimed the Chesney Brown actor is in a ‘great position’ to negotiate a new big money deal following 17 years on the soap, and is expected to remain on the Weatherfield cobbles for the foreseeable future.
A source told The Sun: ‘Sam is still six months into his current contract but discussions are already being had about his future on the show.
‘Chesney is one of the most loved characters on the street and bosses are keen to keep him in Weatherfield for the foreseeable future.
‘Sam will be in a great position to negotiate a good deal for himself with his next contract.’
MailOnline contacted representatives for Coronation Street for comment at the time of publication.
Sam has featured prominently in several Coronation Street storylines during his time on the show, and last year saw Chesney welcome baby quadruplets with partner Gemma (Dolly-Rose Campbell).
