Radio DJ Chris Evans was treated by paramedics after being involved in a car accident earlier today.<\/p>\n
Chris, 57, is said to have flipped over a TukTuk on Saturday (August 26), leaving two female passengers injured at CarFest.<\/p>\n
The presenter reportedly had onlookers staring in horror when he overturned the little automated rickshaw vehicle while attempting \u2018doughnuts\u2019.<\/p>\n
According to The Mirror, witnesses at the scene told the publication that the injured women were guests of the multi-millionaire DJ, and they had to be helped out of the upside-down vehicle.<\/p>\n
Both sustained minor injuries in the accident at the event at Laverstoke Park Farm, near Basingstoke in Hampshire.<\/p>\n
Chris is not thought to have been hurt and he was seen giving the passengers assistance, with video footage capturing an ambulance already at the event rushing over.<\/p>\n

Festival organisers declined to answer questions about the incident.<\/p>\n
However, they issued a statement confrming what had happened: \u2018This morning at CarFest, the Tuk Tuk which Chris Evans was driving overturned on the track as Chris changed direction.<\/p>\n
\u2018The two passengers on board had minor injuries and the CarFest on-site medical team attended to support. <\/p>\n
\u2018Richard Hammond was not in the vehicle at any time.\u2019<\/p>\n
Indeed, Richard was also in attendance at CarFest, but the accident-prone Top Gear star was not involved in the accident.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, Chris himself also has a history of driving blunders, having previously crashed a Jaguar on loan to Top Gear.<\/p>\n
He only hosted on the show for one series, quitting in favour of Jeremy Clarkson.<\/p>\n

Chris\u2019s accident this weekend comes after he publicly revealed his skin cancer diagnosis.<\/p>\n
The broadcaster shared the news with his listeners during his Virgin Radio show, assuring everyone that, luckily, the cancer had been caught in its early stages.<\/p>\n
Chris also said he was hopeful for a full recovery and is set to receive treatment next month.<\/p>\n
\u2018I\u2019ve just got to talk briefly about my biopsy for the skin cancer issue,\u2019 he said.<\/p>\n
\u2018So, the best news that I got whilst I was away is that it was a positive test, so I have tested positive for skin cancer.<\/p>\n
\u2018Obviously, better news would have been [that it was] negative. But the reason it\u2019s great news is because they\u2019ve caught it as early as they can, as early as is possible.\u2019<\/p>\n

He also confirmed he had melanoma, adding: \u2018There\u2019s this phrase called a malignant melanoma \u2013 you know once you get something and you find out all about it \u2013 that is a redundant phrase because if it is a melanoma, it is malignant.\u2019<\/p>\n
\u2018But it\u2019s been caught so early, just so you know, that it should be completely treatable.\u2019<\/p>\n
According to the broadcaster, that is set to happen \u2018on the 14th of September\u2019 with an operation to remove \u2018a small square of skin\u2019.<\/p>\n
