Hero nanny saved Harry Kane’s kids in 3-car smash after calmly stopping Mercedes to avoid careering into another motor

A BRITISH nanny was praised yesterday for saving Harry Kane’s children in a three-car smash.

A young driver in a Renault cut across their people carrier to turn into a junction — crunching into its front and sending both vehicles spinning towards an oncoming Land Rover Defender.

Despite its airbags being triggered, the nanny calmly brought the £100,000 Mercedes to a halt, steering clear of the out-of-control Renault and avoiding careering into the 4x4.

The quick-thinking nanny was said to be “left terrified”.

England and Bayern Munich ace Kane’s three daughters Louise, three, Vivienne, five, and Ivy, seven, were taken to hospital but found to be unharmed.

A source told The Sun: “The Kane’s nanny did an incredible job of protecting the children.

“None of this is her fault. She might be on German roads, but she had right-of-way. It was the German driver who cut across her path and smashed into her.

“She would only have had milliseconds to react.

“You can see from the pictures it was a serious smash, but the Kane children would have felt nothing other than a bang. She really has averted disaster.”

The smash near Schaftlarn, south of Munich, came at 5.15pm on Monday.

Local fire chief Daniel Buck said the Kane’s people carrier “had a lot of damage”.

He added: “The good news was nobody had really strong injuries, more minor injuries typical for a car accident. Thank God nobody was really injured. It was really lucky for all the people.”

The Renault driver, a 20-year-old woman, could be punished with just a fine as little as £150.

She could have been charged with “negligent assault” and, if anyone had been injured, faced up to three years behind bars.

But officers are already said to be looking at the “lucky escape” as an accident.
