'Worst Driver' contestant runs over host

A 'Who Is The Worst Driver In The Netherlands?' contestant has run over the show's host.

The ironic incident occurred when filming for the final of the BNN TV programme, which attracted a record 1.2 million viewers, was taking place and a contestant known as Pim hit presenter Ruben Nicolai and a cameraman.

Nobody was seriously hurt as a result of the accident - which occurred when Pim took his eyes off the road and crashed into traffic cones - but Ruben had to spend the night in hospital.

He said: "'I've just a little pain in my shoulder and my foot. We all had the fright of our lives."
