McGregor says, “Okay, mate, okay. No problem.”

He adds, “I could have been dead,” but he tells the man, “Happy birthday, mate.”

“I’m really sorry—seriously,” said the other man.

The MMA champion wrote on his Instagram page: “I’ve just been rear-ended by a car. A sun trap, the driver couldn’t see me.

“Completely by me. Thank God it was not my time.

Thanks also to wrestling and judo. A consciousness on the landing saved my life.”
