Roth denies nut allergy car crash

Van Halen frontman David Lee Roth has denied reports that Canadian police saved him from a potential car accident.

Roth was allegedly pulled over by police officers for speeding in Ontario earlier this week after an allergic reaction to nuts caused him to drive erratically.

However, in a statement to TMZ, Roth denied that the event ever took place and claimed that he had no food allergies.

"I was in Canada only from July 1 through to July 4 for a performance at the Quebec City Summer Festival," he said. "I had no encounters or incidents with the police [and] the only thing I'm allergic to is criticism."
