A stockbroker who crashed a £250,000 super-car was pulled from the burning wreckage by the salesman giving him a test drive . The driver , who has not been named , lost control of the McLaren 650S and smashed it into a tree . As the vehicle burst into flames , salesman Lee Christian managed to clamber out but he was initially unable to free the unconscious driver . One of the firefighters saidit had been the single biggest accident he had attended where the crew did not have to remove bodies . It was only seconds before the fuel tank exploded – completely destroying the 200mph car – that he pulled him clear . The stockbroker was taken by air ambulance to hospital where he was treated for fractures to a shoulder , elbow and ankle . He is still recovering from a series of skin grafts . Mr Christian , who suffered cuts and burns , was back at work at the McLaren dealership in Knutsford , Cheshire , within four weeks . Father-of-two Lee Christian , 37 , sustained a nasty cut to the back of his head and burns to his face and head . The father of two said : ‘ After we impacted with the tree , my first thought was that I was OK . But when I looked across , the driver looked in a very bad way . 'The impact had ripped off the driver ’ s door and there were flames in the back of the car . ‘ I tried to make my escape through the passenger door but that was jammed , so I had to clamber over the driver . ‘ The fire was so intense that it was difficult to get to him and on the third attempt I knew it was going to be now or never . ‘ I managed to grab him by his trouser belt and by an arm and with my feet against the vehicle managed to pull him out . ‘ I then managed to carry him 30 metres into the field with the car behind me banging and exploding . 'Passers-by used the detached driver ’ s door to shield him from the intensity of the blaze. ’ Mr Christian has been honoured with a bravery award from Cheshire Constabulary . Chief Constable Simon Byrne said : ‘ It was a selfless act in an extremely perilous scenario that put Lee ’ s own life at risk . His actions are very much deserving of this commendation. ’ The incident took place on a country road near High Legh , around four miles from the McLaren dealership . Mr Christian said he had had two ‘ very nice ’ letters from the driver ’ s wife in which she said without his actions her husband would not be alive . A firefighters said it had been the single biggest accident he had attended where the crew did not have to remove bodies . In the weeks following the crash Mr Christian also went to thank the firefighters from Stockton Heath who had attended on the day . He added : ‘ One of the firefighters told me it had been the single biggest accident he had attended where the crew did not have to remove bodies . ‘ That just shows how lucky we both were on that day. ’ Last year , a McLaren worker died in hospital after he crashed a 650S on his way back to the Formula 1 team ’ s headquarters in Woking , Surrey .
