Celebrity OOPS: Robert Plant and Drug Counselor go head to head on Mr. Toad's Wild Ride; Collide, totaling Mercedes SL 300 and Audi A8

Robert Plant of Led Zeppelin fame has crashed and totaled his luxury sports car in an ironic twist of Rock Star fate. The collision brought two speeding vehicles head to head on winding back roads of England in what surely must have looked like a scene from "Mr. Toad's Wild Ride" -- you remember... the Walt Disney ride and exhibit that angry Christians and Mothers Against Drunk Drivers made the theme park close down for promoting excessive speed in cars, reckless driving, driving while intoxicated, and driving under the influence as Mr. Toad got his game face on and whipped around the dark and seedy London areas and stoned countryside?



ROBERT PLANT OF LED ZEPPELIN INVOLVED IN SERIOUS CAR ACCIDENT

The Led Zeppelin Examiner at Examiner.com writes,

According to publications in the United Kingdom like The Sun and The Telegraph, Robert Plant was in a car accident with a drugs counselor in northwest London.

The counselor, one Richard Grant, was driving his Mercedes SL 300 when it collided with Plant’s Audi A8 on the evening of July 2. It is uncertain who was at fault for the smash.

Drug counselor Grant is quoted as saying, "I was unconscious for a little while and then I saw him standing there. I was pretty groggy when I saw him, but later on the officers told me who it was," Grant said.

"I went to hospital for five hours and luckily there were no broken bones, but I was badly bruised on the arm and had whiplash.”

When asked about the accident and the state of the cars, Grant said, "My Merc is smashed up and I'm not in a good way."

If the driver is hurt for real, let's hope he does not sue Plant. Maybe he could sign his cast and wrecked car to turn the automobile into a classic Led Zeppelin memorabilia item he could sell instead of being litigious and hiring ambulance chaser lawyers to help him pull a penny away from the unlucky celeb.

More so, we hope that Mr. Plant himself is not injured seriously and is doing well.

ODD NEWS: IRONIC TWIST

Sadly, I did not see Robert Plant standing over my last car accident appearing as Jesus or the Rock God that he is... so in this writer's opinion, Grant should consider himself fortunate to be hit in this "Celebrity OOPS" accident and to meet the star like he did.

Of all the people in the world to collide into a famous drug user, this counselor certainly must have had his subconscious radar on to find the rock-n-roll icon so well remembered for his use of drugs, with many of the preferred ones being marijuana, LSD, psychedelic mushrooms, and really high quality coke. Talk about a way to create a bonding experience story to help set your patience at ease when you are doing psych work with them...

[The band even hired a 'Cocaine Lady' to travel with them on tour back in the stone ages of 1960s and 1970s rock history. That was even a Celebrities Gone Wild maneuver back in the day when excessive partying was part of common culture for many people everyday.]
