Stirling Moss in crash
The retired racing driver, Stirling Moss, aged 51, was recovering in hospital yesterday after a crash on his motor-scooter — at 25km/h. Moss, with a broken collarbone and bruises, had to withdraw from competing in a veterans’ race at the Silverstone track yesterday.
He fell off the scooter when he swerved to avoid a van on London’s Battersea Bridge, newspapers reported. “Luckily I was wearing a crash helmet, which saved my head,” Moss said later. “Doctors say it will be five or six weeks before I’m fit again.”
The accident came 20 years almost to the day after a motor-racing crash at the Goodwood (Sussex) track in which Moss was nearly killed.
