Viewers know Dylan Wilson and Brody Michaelis were driving the car before the accident, but they abandoned it after Brody suffered a seizure and needed to go to hospital.

And now it has been revealed that another familiar face was driving the car – and is responsible for Tyrone’s injuries.

In Monday’s episode the soap revealed that Carl Webster had been behind the wheel and then torched the car after running Tyrone over.

The secret is just another one Carl is keeping alongside his criminal car racket, his affair with brother Kevin’s wife Abi Webster, and his other affair with James Bailey.

But with Tyrone’s storyline set to run and run, Carl’s secret will become all consuming as he sees Tyrone struggle to go on after losing the feeling in his legs.

The ITV soap has been working with the Spinal Injuries Association closely on the storyline.

A spokesman for the charity said: “We are grateful to ITV studios and Coronation Street for raising awareness of the trauma of spinal cord injury, the terrifying impact of sudden paralysis and the long-term management of neuropathic pain and permanent mobility issues.

“Spinal Injuries Association has offered clinical expertise and guidance to accurately represent, as much as feasibly possible, the experience of those who may be living through similar trauma to Tyrone.

“Seeing the impact on his life and those around him like Fiz will increase public understanding of the experience for the 105,000 people living with spinal cord injury across the UK, many of whom struggle to access the care and expertise they need.”

Actor Alan Halsall said: “The show’s brilliant at doing the research. The thing is with a spinal injury, though, is that they’re different for every single person.

“So speaking to the medical professionals who are on set, I’m wanting to know ‘how much can I turn my shoulders? How much can I turn my head?’

“But everybody has a different reaction to their surgery, and therefore there is no real timeline.

“It means that we don’t have to be so specific, because that could also bring its challenges.

“But it’s being aware that there are people at home who this has happened to for real.

“The charity is also arranging for us to meet someone who has been living through a similar situation so it will be invaluable to get some insight from them.”
