I've tried to work out where the "MRI" claim is from.
There's a thread, "Vicky is pressing Charges", which links an ITV article that says "She was checked over by paramedics at the scene and later given an MRI, she said."
BUT that article seems to be based on what Vicky told the Mirror
here.
Does that article say anything about an MRI scan? No.
It comes with a video of Vicky being interviewed.
Does Vicky say anything about an MRI scan in the video? No.
Indeed, at the time of that interview, at least, Vicky, hadn't been to hospital, or been hospitalised (contrary to what the Mirror's been claiming) or been to A&E.
I suppose it's possible she's had an MRI scan since, but there doesn't seem to be any good source for that claim. Papers repeat the claim because it was in another paper, or because it was in the ITV story, but the only original source seems to be the Mirror account that doesn't say anything about an MRI scan.
If we look at the Mirror's
own "Vicki Michelle is pressing charges"
article, it says "The 'Allo 'Allo! actress suffered whiplash and concussion" -- but nothing about an MRI scan.
