Clarkson’s Farm star Kaleb Cooper ‘prevents serious accident as he comes to rescue after road spill’

Clarkson's Farm star Kaleb Cooper was quick to act after a farm machinery incident near Diddly Squat farm. The 26 year old, who shot to fame on Jeremy Clarkson's Amazon Prime Video series, was seen by the A3400 in Chipping Norton, Oxfordshire, where a hedge cutter had come loose from a trailer. Hydraulic fluid leaked onto the road, leading to skidding vehicles, when the tank cap of the cutter detached.

It is understood that Kaleb was heading to a bailing job last Friday at about 9am when the mishap took place. Post-incident, Kaleb was observed making calls from his Mitsubishi L200 truck as he sought to manage the situation. Paul Lowe, a 53 year old swimming pool engineer from Abingdon, recounted to The Sun[1]: "I spotted him instantly and was a little bit starstruck as I'm a big fan of the show.

"The hedge cutter was on the back of a trailer pulled by a 4x4.

I think it came round the corner and flew off. Hydraulic fluid was pumping out down the road and cars were skidding after driving through it. It was chaos and pretty dangerous.", reports Surrey Live[2].

"Kaleb was parked on the corner speaking with the driver and looked a bit worried. He probably had a lot of other jobs to get done and this only added to his hectic morning. It was just like watching the show live."

The 53 year old further noted that Kaleb "acted quickly to avoid the spill causing a serious accident" by summoning a colleague from his agricultural contracting firm to assist in removing the machinery from the road. While Thames Valley Police have not yet commented on the crash, they were reportedly contacted to make the road safe for other drivers. Kaleb's representatives have been approached for comment.

Following last week's disclosure that Kaleb had been spotted using a mobility scooter due to an 'injured ankle', the Amazon Prime Video star, who helps manage former Top Gear presenter's Diddly Squat farm, revealed his injury ahead of the Royal Three Counties show in Worcestershire.

In a video posted on the event's official Instagram account, he said: ''I may be hobbling around because I've got a bit of a busted ankle, but it'll be fine. "In another Instagram Story, he shared: "Just got back from football and trying to haul my [butt] to shut the chickens up... look at that ankle."

Kaleb, who has been exceptionally busy of late, will likely be looking forward to resting his ankle after Jeremy announced that Clarkson's Farm is taking a 'short break' following its forthcoming fifth series.

Clarkson's Farm is available to watch on Amazon Prime.
