Kaiser Chiefs main man Ricky Wilson, has been hit by a hit and run accident in Leeds.

A statement on the Kaiser Chiefs website says
"Ricky was hit by a car whilst walking across a pedestrian crossing in Leeds town centre mid evening on Sunday. He's the luckiest man alive, because he is still alive, it sounds daft, but a 'Ricky trademark jump' has probably saved his life.

The jump meant he was flipped over the top of the car, hitting the windscreen, rather than getting trapped under it. He was crossing on a green pedestrian light. Whether it was a joyrider, wreckless driving or drunk driving we still don't know."

Apparently Wilson only escaped with minor injuries with a broken toe and some bruising. If you narrowly missed a young man in a pork pie hat at the weekend you are encouranged to call 0845 6060606 or 0113 241 3059.
