Perhaps she was OK with tunnels but the mere sight of the QE2 was

Daily Mail says:

Driver with terrifying fear of TUNNELS rescued by police after his

By Simon Tomlinson

sat-nav wrongly directed him to the Dartford Crossing and he realised
he couldn't turn back.


Gephyrophobia is a fear of bridges and is often combined with a fear of
tunnels, normally associated to agoraphobia or claustrophobia.
