The pair, who had been cleaning the family’s Tesla Model 3, begin to walk out of shot as the mother zips up her jacket and triumphantly says: ‘Right, here we go again.’

But as they begin to stride off the mother places her foot on a patch of paving slabs which suddenly gives way.

She plummets into the hole and begins to struggle as her daughter-in-law rushes to help.

A family member has since said: ‘While mum and her daughter-in-law were cleaning the Tesla Model 3 on our countryside property driveway, mum stood on the paving slabs that had been put there 20 years ago to cover up a drain manhole cover.

‘After hundreds of people stepping on it over the years, it gave way and mum fell in. 

‘She grazed her thigh and bum but was otherwise uninjured.’
