Australian television star Grant Denyer has been hospitalised following a three car collision on the famous Mount Panorama Circuit in Bathurst.
The 48-year-old Deal or No Deal host driving a Chevrolet Camaro was attempting to overtake Richard Barram in a white Volkswagen four hours into the Bathurst 6 Hour, when the pair made contact just after Griffins Bend sending them both veering out of control.
Barrum’s car then careened into a stationary Mazda driven by Matt Kiss, while Denyer’s Camaro slammed into a concrete barricade before coming to rest on the opposite side of the track.
That portion of the track was under a yellow flag at the time due to Kiss’s stranded Mazda.
A NSW Ambulance spokesperson said two men in their 40s were taken to Orange Hospital following the incident.
Denyer was taken in a stable condition with a shoulder injury, while Barram was treated for leg and rib injuries.
Kiss was not injured in the collision.
Denyer, a Gold Logie winner, has a long history on the track dating back three decades.
He placed first in the V8 Utes Australia Summer series in 2004, and won the Australian Endurance Championship in 2016.

Denyer is yet to comment on his injuries.
One Fox Sports commentator called it a “massive” crash.
