Singer George Michael was injured in a crash on the M1 motorway last night.
The incident occurred on the northbound carriageway at 5.50pm, and as the passenger in a car, Finchley-born Mr Michael received minor injuries.
Another man was flown by air ambulance to a specialist trauma centre in London. East of England Ambulance Service crews from Garston, St Albans and Watford were called to the incident, near the junction for the M25.
Due to the nature of the call, the Hertfordshire Air Ambulance was also dispatched to the incident.
The singer's representative said: "George Michael was a passenger in a vehicle involved in a traffic accident yesterday evening, no third party was involved. He is being treated for superficial cuts and bruises but is fine. We have no further comment at this time."
Ambulance spokesman Gary Sanderson said: “A 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.”
