Pop star Robbie Williams was left in shock on Sunday night (11Oct09) after a fan was crushed under his car in a freak accident.
The singer was leaving a TV studio in north London following his comeback performance on British reality show The X Factor when over-excited devotees gathered outside the building to catch a glimpse of their idol.
But as Williams' driver attempted to navigate his way out around the hordes of screaming fans, one unlucky teenage boy was clipped by the car and dragged under its wheels.
The Angels hitmaker reportedly sprang out of the vehicle in tears, according to British newspaper the Daily Mirror.
A source tells the publication, "Everyone was screaming. It looked really serious."
Police at the scene revealed the unnamed boy escaped with minor injuries.
