As the band are currently peddling tickets for their tour, it's only natural (especially now that Caroline Flack's on holidays and not having sleepovers with Harry) that the band would become involved in a car collision while on the road - thanks to "a woman driver" *tsks*
The Sun reports: "The lads' Mercedes people carrier was hit by a car on Wednesday night as they returned to their hotel from a gig in Birmingham. A woman driver smashed into the back of the vehicle at 30mph in Brum… Louis, Harry, Zayn, Liam and Niall were all treated by medics once the police and emergency services arrived. A source said: 'It was a close call. The lads and their two tour managers were pretty shaken up and were treated for varying degrees of whiplash. Yesterday they were seen by an osteopath who gave them the all-clear'."
As for their gig in Plymouth, well they all managed to do the gig anyway, 'cause they're on tour in case you didn't know: "They came close to cancelling because of the crash but the boys didn't want to let down their avid fans. As soon as they got the all-clear they decided to go ahead with the gig. It's lucky dancing in their live shows is kept to a minimum so it did not put extra stress on their bodies."
The lady driver in question has not been named - for fear she'll start getting death threats via Twitter.
