Crash on set
CORONATION Street stars watched in horror as a runaway car mowed down the director on set yesterday.
Kay Patrick was hit as she set up a scene on the cobbles near the Rovers Return when the car’s accelerator jammed.
Hit ... Kay Patrick
Vicky Binns, 26, who plays Molly Compton, fled in tears while Michael Le Vell, 44 — mechanic Kevin Webster — was shaken.
Kay, 68, was last night being treated at Manchester Royal Infirmary for a suspected fractured hip.
Another production staff member was hit and slightly hurt.
The driver was treated at the scene for shock.
Filming on the ITV1 soap was halted for the day at Granada Studios, Manchester.
One fan waiting for autographs outside said: “I heard a really loud bang then screaming.
"Then I saw crew and cast members running across the set. Some were crying. They all looked pretty shocked.”
A Corrie insider said: “The cast and crew are absolutely horrified.
“The car was being driven around when the accelerator pedal jammed. It lurched forward, knocking down Kay. She was in agony and everyone feared the worst. Thankfully she just injured her hip.”
Veteran soap director Kay’s credits include EastEnders, Holby City, Emmerdale, Brookside and Crossroads.
She started out as an actress on classics like Dr Who and Z Cars in the 60s.

The woman was lucky the car wasn't going very fast.
