Harvey blames potatoes for accident
Pop star Brian Harvey claimed gorging on jacket potatoes prompted a car accident that left him fighting for his life.
The 30-year-old, who may never walk again, said he tumbled under the wheels of his reversing Mercedes after the food made him feel sick.
He said he yanked open his car door to vomit while driving down a cul-de-sac, only to be tossed from his seat and crushed underneath his speeding car, shattering his pelvis.
The ex-East 17 singer, who attempted to commit suicide on two occasions prior to the incident, said he was driving to a friend's house when he suffered his injuries on May 31.
Harvey told GMTV: "I had just been stuffing my face with a load of jacket potatoes and I felt sick, so I opened my car door to be sick.
"Instead of putting my foot on the brake, I put it on the accelerator and it flew back, I must have hit four or five parked cars. It must have thrown me out of the car."
He suffered a string of serious injuries when the car ran over his body and was left in a coma for several weeks.
The troubled star, who is recovering at the Hastings home of girlfriend Emma B, underwent two major operations following his freak fall.
He denied the freak fall was a further attempt at suicide and said he was glad to be recovering.
"If you were going to commit suicide you wouldn't do it like this, it was a complete accident," said Harvey. "It was shocking, it happened so quick and then the next thing you're waking up in intensive care three weeks later."
