Australian radio presenter Kate Ritchie caught up in terrifying car crash while driving BMW in Sydney

Aussie radio presenter Kate Ritchie was caught up in a car crash involving three vehicles on Wednesday afternoon.

According to Daily Mail, the former Home and Away star was driving a black BMW in Sydney’s eastern suburbs when it crashed into a parked car, pushing it off the road and into another parked vehicle.

The 46-year-old exchanged details with the owner of one of the parked cars before leaving to pick her daughter up from school.

Pictures taken at the scene show Ritchie’s car getting towed away with substantial damage to the bonnet and both airbags deployed.

Police confirmed to Daily Mail that officers did not attend the scene and no injuries were reported.

In April, Ritchie made headlines after being forced to call the police on a Perth stalker who flew across the country on a mission to track her down.

Gerard Ryan, 71, started his campaign against Ritchie by flooding her Facebook page with adoring comments.

However, these comments from Ryan quickly devolved into sexually driven harassment.

An early post read: “Hello Kate … I love you so much”.

“I just want to kiss you my heart is pounding for you I love you madly,” said another.

The court was told when Ritchie chose not to respond to her stalker’s comments, Ryan began sending private messages to the star on social media of a sexual nature, including naked photos of himself.

By April 2023, and after enduring months of harassment and hundreds of messages, Ritchie blocked Ryan and called the police.

But in February 2024, Ryan sent a Valentine’s Day card to Ritchie’s workplace at NOVA in Sydney before following up a few weeks later with a letter and photographs.

The harassment came to a head in April when Ryan sent Ritchie a message advising he was in the star’s suburb and was hoping to track her down.

He was arrested and sentenced to a 12-month conditional release order.
