George Michael to remain in hospital following car accident

'Faith' singer George Michael is currently recovering after falling out of a moving car on a motorway in England on May 16.

It has since been revealed that the hitmaker fell out of a vehicle that was travelling at 70mph on the M1 and an eyewitness named Katherine Fox told Britain's The Sun newspaper that "he tried to open the car door and shut it again because it wasn't shut properly and apparently fell out at 70mph."

A spokesperson for the iconic musician told BBC News that he's "making good progress", but doctors want him to remain in hospital for the time being as a precaution:

"Following the traffic accident on Thursday, we can confirm that he is still in hospital. We are keen to stress it's purely as a precaution for observation. He did suffer a couple of bumps and bruises to the head and that's why they are keeping him in - to keep an eye on him."

Gary Sanderson, of the East of England Ambulance Service, added that Michael was laying on the road when paramedics arrived at the scene: "The patient was on the road when paramedics arrived. The patient required further assessments at a specialist trauma centre after he received a head injury. He was fully conscious throughout his treatment at the scene and flight to hospital and the injuries were deemed non life threatening."
