Tom Fletcher in car accident

Martini World Premiere Party: The Boat That Rocked - ArrivalsPoor Tom Fletcher and his family were involved in a car accident tonight, but thankfully all escaped with minor injuries – and Tom without a scratch.

McFly’s Tom posted to Twitter at 23:29 saying “Had a car crash in my parents car. Everyones fine. Crazy cab hit us and dads lovely Jag saved us all…but it got wrecked in the process.[sic]

“Just thankful we’re all alive! Dads devastated about his car, I gave it to him as a present. Seatbelts and airbags literally saved mum and dads life tonight!”

“In for a long night at the hospital. What a shock! Things could have been so much worse. Dad is such a careful driver! Shame others aren’t.”

“Not a scratch on me, she spun us around to face the other direction! Minor injuries for my parents. My door flew open after she hit us”

At the time of publishing, the most recent update from Tom was “Dad all checked, whiplash and some scratches and bruises! Mums up next. Festive cheer all round!” – this was posted at 00:30.

We’ll keep you updated. We’re glad the Fletcher family are OK – it just goes to show how important seatbelts are.  

Update: First Tom, now Danny’s had a near miss on the road
