'I was lucky to survive'
Ben Giffen says his car was "smashed" by a cable from the roof of the Hatfield Tunnel.
He was driving in the tunnel during peak hour traffic on Thursday when the wire hit his windscreen.
Highways England says safety is it's "top priority and we take any accident on our network extremely seriously".
It says: "Having assessed the damage within the Hatfield tunnel following the incident last week, it would appear that a high vehicle dislodged the overhead cable.
"Engineers have since fixed the issue and will continue to carry out safety inspections on the tunnel."
