Keith Urban in motorcycle crash

Nicole Kidman's husband Keith Urban has been involved in a motorcycle crash after he was reportedly followed by a photographer.

The country singer was on his way to an Alcoholics Anonymous meeting in Sydney, Australia when a man tried to follow him in a car. His pursuit caused the accident which left Urban unhurt.

In a statement he said: "I sped up, and in an effort to elude an oncoming car, which was making an illegal U-turn, saw no choice but to drop my bike."

He also blamed the accident on "one person's desire to do his job and my desire to maintain my privacy".
