Chris Parry told Sky News in an update from Ukraine, that the 4x4 vehicle used to evacuate the most vulnerable citizens was written-off after being hit by a Russian tank round.
"I was stood in the square, fully exposed to anything, just screaming my lungs off saying 'evacuation, evacuation'.
"I went to a military command unit and spoke to a number of soldiers who described Bakhmut as the 'worst place they had ever been'. They were saying 'this isn't war, this is hell'. They call it the grey zone, because no one really has control, you could just bump into a Russian at any moment. Leaving the military command unit, Mr Parry drove down exposed roads and through fallen tower blocks, in a bid to not get targeted by Russian weapons."I was driving through branches, debris, anything that was in front of me," Mr Parry explained."As soon as I pulled back onto the road, this massive bang happened about two metres from my front left wheel. For a second everything fogged up.
