Le Vell reveals Corrie car crash horror

Michael Le Vell has revealed that he was involved in the car crash on the set of Coronation Street earlier this year.

Last month, reports suggested that a director on the show was taken to hospital after a car collided with her.

Speaking to The Sun, the 44-year-old actor - Kevin Webster on the ITV1 soap - said that he and female director Kay Patrick were involved in the accident.

"Someone could have been killed that day," he admitted. "It just clipped my hip and threw me out the way. But Kay had her back to the car and was directing people. putting them in position.

"The throttle was stuck on. It hit her full pelt. She went across the bonnet and then it went across the street and into water on the set. I swear, we all thought she was dead."

He continued: "It was like 'This can’t happen. We are on Coronation Street - we are supposed to be wrapped in cotton wool'. Kay later sent me a message, saying another minute later and I would have had my back to the car."

Doctors have reportedly said that Patrick will make a full recovery following the crash.

"Fortunately she is OK now. She has had a plate put in her shoulder, her leg is still bad and she is going to be off work for a long, long time."
