A BBC spokesperson told MailOnline: “During Top Gear filming in north Yorkshire today presenter Paddy McGuinness’s car skidded and left the road, coming to an almost immediate stop.
Paddy McGuinness has reassured his fans after he was involved in a car accident while filming an episode of Top Gear on Tuesday (16 June).
Top Gear and EastEnders resumed filming with social distancing measures in place this month, after previously being postponed because of the coronavirus pandemic.
“Safety on Top Gear is always the production team’s priority and the vehicle’s speed at the time was within the road’s limit of 60mph.”
