Robert Plant, lead singer of rock legends Led Zeppelin, was involved in a car accident at a junction in North West London last week.

The collision with drugs counsellor Richard Grant saw the 60 year-old front man receive no serious injuries although his Audi A8 was damaged beyond recognition.

Grant, a drugs counsellor with the charity Turning Point stated that, “My Mercedes is smashed up and I'm not in a good way” although he too wasn't injured seriously.

Plant was also involved in another, more serious car accident in 1975, that left the singer nursing a broken ankle and his wife Maureen needing a blood transfusion.
