Bob Geldof in road crash

He's relieved that motorcyclist avoids serious injury

Sir Bob Geldof has been left shaken after colliding with a motorcyclist while driving with his daughters last night.

A 39-year-old biker crashed into the Live Earth star's silver Lexus as he did a U-turn.

'I was pulling out and a woman stopped to let me go and the bike came up on the other side and went into the wheel,' Bob explains.

'He was knocked flying. It was an accident. He came up on my blind side.'

And Sir Bob, 55, who stayed with the biker until he was taken to hospital, was relieved to learn that the man was not seriously hurt.

'Thank God he's fine,' says Bob. 'The main thing is he's OK. He had all his bike gear on which probably stopped a lot of damage.'

The accident on London's Kings Road took place after the musician took daughters Pixie, 16, and Tiger Lily Hutchence, 11, to a café. They were uninjured.
