Katie Price has reportedly been arrested on suspicion of drink-driving, following a car crash in West Sussex this morning.
According to The Sun, the former glamour model was arrested by police officers at the scene, before being taken to hospital.
A source said: “Katie rolled her car and was in a bad way when police arrived. She’s in hospital now and everyone is desperately worried about her and why she was driving.”
In a statement, a Sussex Police spokeswoman said: “Police responded to reports of a single-vehicle collision on the B2135 near Partridge Green around 6.20am on Tuesday (September 28).”
“A woman, 43, was arrested on suspicion of driving while above the legal limit for alcohol and drugs, and has been taken to hospital to be checked over.”
“The road was blocked temporarily while recovery of the vehicle was arranged.”
Goss.ie has contacted Katie’s rep for a comment.
It’s understood Katie was also driving without a licence, after being slapped with a ban in October 2019.
The news comes amid a turbulent few weeks for Katie.
Last month, a man in his 30s was arrested on suspicion of assault, theft and coercive and controlling behaviour after an alleged incident that took place at Katie’s home, but he was later released on bail.
Speaking to The Sun at the time, Katie said: “I’ve got a big bruise, my face is all puffy, and I went to hospital. I’m still all dazed. I’m devastated.”
“I’ve told police that I was assaulted, and am in shock that this happened. I ran away after being punched — I ran to Harvey’s house nearby and have now done damage to my feet, which I previously injured.”
“The fight was unprovoked — I was just sitting there watching telly when the assault happened. I can’t say any more,” she added.
When contacted for a comment at the time, Katie’s rep told Goss.ie: “As this is still under police investigation we’re unable to comment.”
