Bill Murray set for Dunhill Links after crash fears
The 69-year-old was no longer in his car when it was involved in a four-vehicle collision in St Andrews.
Hollywood star Bill Murray is fit to play the Alfred Dunhill Hill links despite reports he was in a car accident.
The car which took the actor to St Andrews was involved in a four-vehicle crash in Greyfriars Garden at around 12.55pm on Tuesday.
However, the 69-year-old wasn’t in the car at the time and nobody was hurt in the collision.
The Lost In Translation and Ghostbusters star is in the Fife town to play in the Alfred Dunhill Links Championship along with actors Justin Timberlake, Greg Kinnear, Luke Wilson and Matthew Goode on Thursday.
Roger Kelly, head of communications for the Alfred Dunhill Links, said: “A car that had taken Bill Murray into St Andrews was in a minor accident, nobody was hurt.
“Bill Murray was not in the car at the time of the collision, he was not injured, and he will be playing in the Championship.”
Police were called to the scene, however no-one was seriously injured.
The vehicles involved were a Jeep, a Mercedes E Class, a Ford transit van and a Citroen C4.
One of the vehicles involved was a Fife Council vehicle.
Tom Henderson, Fife Council service manager, said: “Until an investigation is carried out, it would be inappropriate to comment further at this time.”
The Alfred Dunhill Links Championship takes place over three of the most historic courses in the world - the Old Course at St Andrews, Carnoustie and Kingsbarns, from September 26-29.
