George Michael In Another Car Crash

George Micahel, who has had his shared of car accidents with parked cards while under the influence, was involved in another car crash right after getting his license to drive back in good standing. The Sun has more:
George Michael was arrested on suspicion of drug-driving yesterday after smashing his car into the back of a lorry.
The Careless Whisper singer’s £80,000 silver Range Rover slammed into the seven-ton truck at high speed on the A34 just after 1am.Onlookers feared George, 46 was DEAD as he sat dazed in the mangled motor for ten minutes near Newbury, Berks.
Shaken trucker Lawrie Rowe, 43, said: "He must have been doing 100mph. When he got out he couldn’t walk straight."
Gay George only recently got his licence back after a two-year ban for drug-driving in 2007.
His 4×4 twice bounced off the central reservation of the A34 near Newbury, Berks, before coming to a stop in the middle of the road just after 1am yesterday.
The motor was a write-off and the gay singer – described as "away with the fairies" – survived by a miracle.
Shocked George climbed out of the wreck and tried to beg a lift in Lawrie’s cab.
Lawrie of Middlesbrough, said: "I was driving at 45mph in the inside lane when I saw a car come speeding up behind me, its lights on full beam.
"It must have been doing about 100mph and was weaving all over the place as if it was overtaking and undertaking. It smashed into the back of my cab and I felt a hell of a thump.
"His car went spinning across the outside lane and into the central barrier before bouncing back into my cab. He then hit the barrier again."
Lawrie was in his seven-ton Volvo 440 in a convoy of three trucks heading from Peterborough to Southampton.
He said: "I pulled over and called the police and ambulance.
"There was no movement from his car for what seemed like ten minutes. I was really shaken and thought someone had died.
"The Range Rover’s bonnet was sticking up, the front panels were missing and all the windows were shattered.
"There were big scrape marks along the full length of the vehicle. It was blocking the road.
"Eventually the guy got out of his car. He came over to my cab and asked if I had stopped to give him a lift. I was stunned.
"He was absolutely not with it, so I told him no. But he insisted and came around the other side of the truck and tried to get in the passenger door.
"When it finally dawned on him that I wouldn’t give in, he walked off down the verge.
"He was quite merry and wanted a lift but didn’t say where to. He was wearing glasses, a black baseball cap, a tight-fitting black T-shirt, black trousers and Crocs shoes. He carried a satchel."
Dazed George walked about 1½ miles down the verge before other truckers stopped him and made him wait for the police to arrive.
Clive Butterfield, 48, who was driving the truck in front of Lawrie’s said: "How he got out alive is beyond me. It’s a miracle.
"The left side of the Range Rover was non-existent. He walked up and asked for a lift. We said he had to wait for the police." Driver David Hooper, 50, added: "He was strolling along a dual carriageway, totally away with the fairies." Lawrie said: "When police arrived I said the guy looked like George Michael. They told me it was. He couldn’t walk in a straight line."
But drug tests on George at a police station proved negative. He was released at 6am. Police said 14 officers went to the scene.
A spokesman added: "The driver of a Range Rover, a 46-year-old man, was arrested on suspicion of being unfit through drink or drugs. He was released without charge."
In February 2006, George was cautioned for drug possession after kipping at the wheel in Hyde Park, London. In April 2006, he hit three parked cars in his Range Rover outside his home in Highgate, North London.
On May 15, 2006, the singer crashed near there after nodding off while listening to his iPod.
Later that year, in the early hours of October 1, police arrested Michael after finding him unconscious in his Mercedes at a junction in North-West London.
He was banned from driving for two years after pleading guilty to driving while unfit through drugs.
Last night a spokeswoman for George claimed he had NOT been arrested.
Michael confirmed the incident Saturday, but said in a statement he had been "stone cold sober."
Michael says he didn’t want his fans or family "worried by what they are reading."
If Michael drives that recklessly while sober, he should have his license taken away again, pending some intensive driving school classes.
