Kyle & Jackie O star involved in horrific car accident: Radio presenter 'woke up unconscious and upside down in traffic' READ MORE: Jackie 'O' Henderson gives glimpse inside her 'dream' Italian holiday By KINTA WALSH-COTTON FOR DAILY MAIL AUSTRALIA Published: 23:22, 30 April 2025 | Updated: 23:34, 30 April 2025 e-mail View comments Advertisement A Kyle & Jackie O Show star was involved in a 'major car accident' on their way home from work in Sydney , ending up unconscious and upside down in his car. Sports presenter Cooper Johns, 25, was driving home on Wednesday afternoon when a taxi swerved into his lane, causing his car to lift into the air and flip. 'The cab swerved a little bit into Cooper's lane and Cooper's tire on the front left side of his Subaru clipped the taxi's tire and then Cooper's car just lifted into the air and bang onto the roof,' host Kyle Sandilands explained on Thursday morning.
'All pandemonium broke loose...
Cooper was rescued and driven away by a listener,' Kyle added, explaining a KIIS FM listener helped the former rugby star get to the hospital after he spoke with police. 'Is Cooper injured?' host Jackie 'O' Henderson asked. 'Not injured enough not to come to work.
He will be coming this morning, but he's got to wait until his mum wakes up to drive him to work,' Kyle said. 'But he's not injured at all?' Jackie pushed. Kyle and KIIS FM producers went on to explain Cooper is currently suffering from 'whiplash' and a 'concussion' which was 'playing up' on Wednesday night.
They then assured Cooper was only coming into the breakfast radio show studio to give his account of what happened before heading back home to rest. A short while later, the ex footy star arrived at work. 'I don't really remember how it happened.
.. I'm driving along in my Subaru.
It gets me from A to B, usually. Sometimes it has a detour and flips me upside down,' Cooper joked. He went on to say he has no memory of how the accident first occurred.
'My first memory is just feeling the hit of the tire. The cops told me they had never seen anything like this because his [the taxi driver] car was not damaged at all. He drove off.
He was fine,' Cooper continued. He said the taxi driver suffered no injuries or damage to his car and seemed more concerned about getting back to work. 'He was a cabbie right? Did he have a fare? The metre is going,' Kyle joked.
'He kept being like, "I have work. I need to go." The cops were like just relax, we need details,' Cooper explained.
