Gary Lightbody Involved In Go-Kart Crash

Following a recent trip to a go-kart track in Germany, Snow Patrol singer Gary Lightbody was hospitalised after suffering a broken rib.

Lightbody had to be rushed to hospital after smashing his kart into a barrier. Speaking to the Daily Record, the 33 year-old stated how he “had my very best idiot trousers on in Germany at the Street gig and we did a go-kart track in Dettenheim.

"I did say beforehand that I shouldn't be in charge of anything that can go over 20 miles-per-hour, and secondly I am the most accident-prone idiot in the western world.”

"Did I heed my own advice? No! Crash after crash I finished on a particularly nasty one that put me in hospital where I discovered I had a broken rib”, he concluded.
