Despite the crash, McClean still made it in for Wrexham training and played in their next match a day later, a 1-1 draw with Birmingham, and the former Republic of Ireland international has now revealed how the scary incident unfolded.
During the latest season of 'Welcome to Wrexham', McClean revealed: "It was a really foggy morning and it was hard to see. I thought I had more road than I did. I came out from behind a lorry and the roundabout just appeared.
"For the next five seconds it was just a blur. Then the car stopped and there's all this smoke coming out of the car. The door was quite wedged and I was banging it to get it open.
"I just see it as there's bigger things ahead for me and it just wasn't my time. I was saved that day. It was a scary experience, but it just shows you how quickly things can change."
