Former Emmerdale star Roxanne Pallett is said to be “lucky to be alive” after crashing into a concrete wall at high speed.
The actor, 35, was airlifted to hospital after losing consciousness for 30 seconds at a stock race in Hunmanby Raceway near Scarborough.
Pallett was rescued by firefighters who spent two hours cutting her from the wreckage before a helicopter transported her to Hull Royal Infirmary 41 miles away.
According to The Sun, the star - who was racing her Minister FM breakfast show co-host Ben Fry - is reportedly awaiting results of a CT scan and has suffered severe bruising.
They were racing to promote the Outlaw Gold Top Shootout event scheduled to take place on 11 August.
Video footage has since surfaced showing events that unfolded after the collision showing two fire engines, a helicopter and police van surrounding the raceway.
Pallett starred in Emmerdale as Jo Stiles nee Sugden on the ITV soap between 2005-08. More recently, she starred in BBC series Waterloo Road and will star in forthcoming horror film Habit.
