Pictured: Jemima Khan in tears after her Mini hits motorcyclist

Burying her head in her hands, Jemima Khan appears to be on the verge of tears after being involved in a collision with a motorcyclist.

The 34-year-old socialite was said to be 'distraught' after the incident, which happened in London on Friday afternoon.

Jemima, a mother of two and former wife of Pakistani cricketer Imran Khan, was driving her Mini along the fashionable Kings Road in Chelsea when the accident happened.

Police and an ambulance arrived at the scene within minutes and the 39-year-old rider was taken to Chelsea and Westminster Hospital with a minor shoulder injury.

One onlooker said: 'Jemima was very pale afterwards and obviously in shock. She held her head in her hands and she was in tears. She seemed really distraught.'

A Met Police spokesman said a report would be sent to its Criminal Justice Unit to decide whether or not a summons needed to be issued.

Jemima is not known for her driving skills. Last year, she drove into a parked Mercedes-Benz after lunch with friends in Chelsea.
