English singer George Michael was “driving like a madman” before crashing his car into the back of a lorry on a dual carriageway, reveals an eyewitness.
The ‘Faith’ hitmaker was arrested on August 14 following the collision, which occurred just two months after his two-year driving ban was lifted.
The accident happened at 1am at Chieveley, Berks, after which George was arrested on suspicion of being under the influence of drink or drugs.
He was released without charge when tests proved negative.
The 46-year-old singer has played down the crash, saying, "Neither of us (drivers) was charged because we were both stone cold sober. We both think the other is to blame so this is just an insurance fight. I don`t want my fans or my family worried by what they are reading all over again.”
Michael was driving erratically before the accident, according to lorry driver Sean Strong who saw the smash.
"He was all over the road - he was driving like crazy. He swerved past my artic (articulated lorry) so closely that he just missed me. He was shouting and screaming at the passenger seat,” a news daily quoted him as saying.
"I just knew the guy was not safe and that he was going to crash, which he did a mile or two later. I am surprised he walked away from it. He was going at some speed," he added.
