Singer George Michael was airlifted to hospital with a head injury following a crash on the M1.

Paramedics were called to junction 6A, near St Albans, in Hertfordshire, at about 17:50 BST on Thursday.

A spokesman for Michael confirmed the 49-year-old had been involved in an accident, but said the singer only had "superficial cuts" and was "fine".

Michael was a passenger in a Range Rover and no other vehicles were involved, the spokesman added.

Connie Filippello said: "George Michael was a passenger in a vehicle involved in a traffic accident yesterday evening. No third party was involved.

Carriageway closed

"We have no further comment at this time."

Ambulance spokesman Gary Sanderson said: "The man who we believe to be in his 40s sustained a head injury and following treatment, stabilisation and immobilisation by land and air ambulance crews, he was flown to hospital for further care."

Hertfordshire Police said the northbound carriageway of the road was closed for an hour while emergency services dealt with the incident.

A force spokesman said: "The exact circumstances of what happened are unclear at this time and until further investigations have been carried out it would be inappropriate for us to comment further."

It seems that George is just "unlucky" in cars, even when a passenger ....

Best wishes for a speedy recovery .....
