This morning he was listed as a nominee for Australia’s biggest awards in the television industry and tonight Grant Denyer is thanking his lucky stars he is still alive.
While taking part in a car rally today, the Lake Mountain Sprint in Marysville, his car crashed on stage 12 of the event, around 1.30pm.
