George Michael - Michael Arrested Following Car Crash

GEORGE MICHAEL was arrested on Friday (14Aug09) after he was involved in a car crash with a lorry - just two months after he got his license back following a two-year driving ban.

The Faith hitmaker was reportedly quizzed by police on suspicion of driving under the influence of drink or drugs after his Land Rover collided with the vehicle in Berkshire, England.

According to a spokesperson for the Thames Valley Police, he was released without charge after five hours.

The rep says, "The driver of the Land Rover, a 46-year-old man, was arrested at the scene and taken into police custody.

"He was later released without charge."

The incident comes just weeks after authorities handed the singer his license back in June (09). He was banned from driving for two years in 2007 when he was twice found slumped behind the wheel of his parked car in London. Michael subsequently pleaded guilty to driving while unfit through drugs and later admitted an addiction to marijuana.
