Bedingfield survives second car smash

British pop star Daniel Bedingfield has miraculously survived a second terrifying car crash.

The Gotta Get Thru This hitmaker was travelling from London to Manchester, England in a convoy of cars to meet sister Natasha to practice their duet for next Wednesday's Brit Awards, when the car in which he was a passenger was struck by a passing truck.

A member of Bedingfield's entourage explains: "Dan's car pulled onto the hard shoulder so they could get a CD out of the boot.

"Dan was in the passenger seat when the driver opened the door. But he hadn't checked his mirrors and a juggernaut smashed into them. The door was ripped off and the car really badly mangled."

This smash comes just a year after Bedingfield nearly lost his life in a New Year's Day car accident in New Zealand - which left him with serious head and neck injuries for six months.

This time the 25-year-old escaped without injury, despite being badly shaken.

His spokesperson confirmed: "He was concerned he may have hurt his neck again. Luckily he was ok."
