Radio DJ Chris Evans was left shaken after being involved in a car accident earlier today at CarFest. Witnesses report that Chris was attempting to do ‘doughnuts’ when he flipped over a small automated rickshaw, leaving two female passengers injured.
The presenter, 57, was seen helping the passengers out of the upside-down vehicle and was reportedly unharmed. Festival organisers declined to comment on the incident, but representatives for Chris issued a statement to The Agency:
‘This morning at CarFest, the Tuk Tuk which Chris Evans was driving overturned on the track as Chris changed direction. The two passengers on board had minor injuries and the CarFest on-site medical team attended to support. Richard Hammond was not in the vehicle at any time.’
Indeed, Richard Hammond was also in attendance at CarFest but thankfully he was nowhere near the crash. Chris himself, however, has a history of driving blunders - having once crashed a Jaguar on loan to Top Gear, and only hosting for one series of the show before quitting in favour of Jeremy Clarkson.
This latest mishap comes after Chris publicly revealed his skin cancer diagnosis. He told his listeners on his Virgin Radio show that the cancer had been caught in its early stages and he was hopeful for a full recovery. He is set to receive treatment next month for ‘a small square of skin’.
