LONDON (AP) - Ms. Dynamite was recovering from a 100-mph crash that occurred during filming of ``The Race,'' a car-racing reality show on Britain's Sky One TV network.

Brian Johnson, lead singer of rock band AC/DC, struck the back of the British rapper's Formula Ford car at Silverstone racetrack in central England on Sunday.

``The Race'' pits teams of male and female celebrities against each other. The drivers had completed lap four of a 25-lap race when the collision occurred.

Paramedics treated the singer, whose real name is Niomi McLean-Daley, at the track. Though she didn't suffer any serious injuries, she was airlifted to a hospital as a precaution and remained overnight.

``Brian Johnson's wheel clipped her back wheel,'' Sky One television spokesman Lee Robson said. ``That forced her car into the barrier and sent her car spinning about 50 yards down the track.''

Robson couldn't confirm the singer's condition Monday.

McLean-Daley's 2002 debut album, ``A Little Deeper,'' won Britain's Mercury Prize for album of the year.

Contestants trained at the racetrack for a week, progressing to faster cars before the finale, Robson said.

Other contestants included Melissa Joan Hart of TV's ``Sabrina, the Teenage Witch'' and 1980s British pop singer Gary Numan.
