KATIE Price has reportedly been rushed to hospital after a “drink-drive” crash that could leave her facing jail time.
The Brighton-born celebrity, who is understood to be banned from driving, is said to be in hospital after the crash on the B2135 near Partridge Green, on Tuesday, September 28.
Police arrested the 43-year-old reality star for alleged drink-driving, according to The Sun.
A Sussex Police spokeswoman said officers responded to reports of a single-vehicle collision on the B2135 near Partridge Green around 6.20am.
"A woman, 43, was arrested on suspicion of driving while above the legal limit for alcohol and drugs, and has been taken to hospital to be checked over.
"The road was blocked temporarily while recovery of the vehicle was arranged."
Katie is already thought to be serving a driving ban and was not due to get her licence back until October 13.
A source told The Sun: "Katie rolled her car and was in a bad way when police arrived.
"She's in hospital now and everyone is desperately worried about her and why she was driving."
A South East Ambulance Service spokesman said: "I can confirm we were called at approximately 6.30am to reports of an RTC on the B2135 at Partridge Green.
"One ambulance crew attended the scene and one person was assessed and treated before being taken to hospital."
It comes as a Sussex Police officer shared a picture of a crash, believed to be the incident involving the glamour model.
The crash came hours after Katie appeared on Good Morning Britain, where she spoke about her difficulty visiting son Harvey because she couldn't get behind the wheel.
She said: "Obviously I don't get my licence back until December, so I can't just whizz in the car down there and it's not close."
The mum-of-five has been banned from driving six times in the last ten years.
The former Loose Women panellist was first banned from driving in 2010 for six months after doing 83mph in a 70mph zone in West Sussex.
In 2012, she got a 12-month disqualification after failing to respond to two speeding tickets.
She then got a six-month ban in 2018 for speeding after totting up 12 penalty points.
A year later, Katie was barred for three months after driving while disqualified in January 2019.
Price’s latest ban was given in October 2019 for 18 months after failing to tell police who was driving her pink Range Rover during a crash in Bexley.
