Deer nearly does for Drifters

In an unlikely sounding incident in the small hours of this morning, a deer nearly killed The Drifters. The stag had wandered onto the M1 near Rotherham, causing a car to swerve into the path of another. The vehicle it collided with was ferrying the band to London after a gig in Newcastle.

Patrick Lamarr was hospitalised with a head injury; he's expected to be fine to play the band's next date on Thursday.
