When driving towards Devil's End, the baker's man encountered an earth tremor caused by Azal reducing in size and stopped his van, staggering away from the vehicle.

The Brigadier and his driver left to try to find another way into the village, via the south, seemingly leaving the baker's man behind at the scene. (TV: The Dæmons)
