Radio DJ Chris Evans was treated by paramedics after being involved in a car accident earlier today.
Chris is said to have flipped over a TukTuk on Saturday (August 26), leaving two female passengers injured at CarFest.
The presenter reportedly had onlookers staring in horror when he overturned the little automated rickshaw vehicle while attempting ‘doughnuts’.
According to The Mirror, witnesses at the scene told the publication that the injured women were guests of the multi-millionaire DJ, and they had to be helped out of the upside-down vehicle.
Both sustained minor injuries in the accident at the event at Laverstoke Park Farm, near Basingstoke in Hampshire.
Chris is not thought to have been hurt and he was seen giving the passengers assistance, with video footage capturing an ambulance already at the event rushing over.
Festival organisers declined to answer questions about the incident.
However, they issued a statement confrming what had happened: ‘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 was also in attendance at CarFest, but the accident-prone Top Gear star was not involved in the accident.
Meanwhile, Chris himself also has a history of driving blunders, having previously crashed a Jaguar on loan to Top Gear.
He only hosted on the show for one series, quitting in favour of Jeremy Clarkson.
