English singer and actor Murray Head was hospitalized recently when his car hit a truck in France. The incident happened near the city of Pau in the Southern Pyrenees region on Monday where he was driving.
Head, 76, met with the accident after he lost control of his car and hit the truck. He spoke to the local press and said,
“I was incredibly lucky. I was going north-south and then I found myself going the other way. Was I dazzled by the sun? I don’t know. I hadn’t had anything to drink.”
Head managed to escape with some minor injuries and returned safely to his home. He was conscious while he was being rescued and the truck driver was safe. The road’s access was restricted and a diversion was put on it while the authorities removed the damaged vehicles.
Murray Head’s representatives have not commented on the incident. He was on his way to the radio station France Bleu Bearn Bigorre to give an interview on the Queen’s death when the accident happened.
