Ms DYNAMITE
in 100mph crash with AC/DC singer
The
R?B singer Miss Dynamite was recovering in hospital last night
after
her car was involved in a 100mph crash during a race
with
the AC/DC frontman Brian Johnson.
The
rear of Ms Dynamite's car was clipped on the home straight by Johnson as
they competed yesterday at Silverstone,
sending
it spinning out of control.
Both
had been filming at the Northamptonshire track for The Race,
a
reality programme on Sky One in which two teams of celebrity men and women
competed against each other in various driving challenges.
Ms
Dynamite's Racing Ford eventually came to a halt after 50 metres, leaving
her shaken, but "conscious and talking" according to a spokesman for Sky.
Paramedics
treated her in the medical centre at the circuit before she was airlifted
to Northampton General Hospital. She was later transferred to the University
Hospital Coventry and Warwickshire, where she was kept overnight for observation.
Her
injuries were not thought to be serious. Johnson, the gravelly voiced lead
singer of the heavy-metal group AC/DC, was not injured in the accident
and won the race. |
