DJ Calvin Harris was involved in a car accident in Los Angeles on 19 May, which left him badly injured and sent to hospital. According to TMZ, Harris was a passenger in a Cadillac SUV at around 11pm when a VW Bug Convertible filled with teenagers crossed the centre line, crashing into his vehicle.

According to TMZ, paramedics took Harris to an LA hospital to be treated for a laceration on his face. Despite the cut requiring immediate attention, the Scottish DJ asked for a private room. When they said one was not available he jumped off the hospital bed and left "against medical advice".
