Supermodel Kate Moss, 27, and three others were injured in a car crash and rushed to the hospital for treatment, British police in Essex have told Reuters. Moss was apparently riding in a Range Rover driven by a male companion when it collided with a car driven by an elderly man and his wife. Both cars were traveling in the same direction on the expressway at the time of the accident. Moss, once known for her waif-like looks, suffered a shoulder injury, said police, and was flown by air ambulance to the Basildon General Hospital in Essex. A police spokesman said the injuries were not believed to be life-threatening. The driver of Moss's car and the elderly couple in the other vehicle suffered minor injuries. Last year, notes Reuters, Moss was rushed to the hospital with a severe kidney infection, but checked out a few days later. In 1998 she was admitted to London's Priory clinic, which has treated many celebrities for substance abuse problems.
