Former Emmerdale star Roxanne Pallett was airlifted to hospital after crashing into a wall during a stock car race.
The Sun reports that the 35-year-old had been racing her Minster FM breakfast show co-host Ben Fry when the accident occurred at Hunmanby Raceway near Scarborough in Yorkshire.
It is reported that it took emergency services two hours to cut Pallett from the wreckage.
A source told The Sun: "She tried to overtake Ben on a bend and was travelling too fast and smashed into the concrete wall on the track. She lost consciousness for about 30 seconds on impact. Fortunately she was wearing a helmet and race gear."
Pallett was airlifted 41 miles to Hull Royal Infirmary and reportedly suffered two sprained wrists and severe bruising.
In a statement, Minster FM said: "Unfortunately Roxy was involved in an accident yesterday. Minster FM colleagues and listeners wish her a speedy recovery and can't wait to have her back in the studio and waking up North Yorkshire with Ben.
"Thank you for all of your messages wishing her well. Roxy and Minster FM appreciate your support."
Pallett played Jo Stiles in Emmerdale from 2005 to 2008. She won Celebrity Stars in their Eyes as Gloria Estefan in 2006 and took part in Dancing on Ice in 2009. Along with presenting, she has also starred in a number of horror films.
