Clarkson’s Farm Star Kaleb Cooper Averts Serious Accident After Machinery Spill

Operating on a fractured ankle, he alerted his team before contacting police to clear a fallen hedge cutter from the A3400 in Oxfordshire, preventing vehicles from skidding on a hydraulic fluid spill.

Overview

  • On June 25 at about 9 am a hedge cutter dislodged from a trailer and fell onto the A3400 near Diddly Squat Farm, spilling hydraulic fluid that caused vehicles to skid.
  • Kaleb Cooper, en route to a baling job, spotted the spill, made calls from his Mitsubishi L200 pickup and organized a team effort to lift the cutter off the road.
  • He notified Thames Valley Police and his contracting colleagues, securing the scene and averting potential collisions.
  • Earlier in June Cooper fractured his ankle during a football game and shared updates on his recovery from A&E via Instagram.
  • Despite his injury, he will attend the Royal Three Counties Show in Worcestershire to host talks and run his contracting stand.
