Richard Hammond involved in car crash

[northwichcat]

He seems to be cursed as most presenters of motoring programs seem to manage to avoid crashes involving serious injuries.

Ex-Top Gear host Richard Hammond has been airlifted to hospital after a crash while filming in Switzerland.

The 47-year-old presenter was filming for Amazon Prime show The Grand Tour.
In a statement, the show said Mr Hammond fractured his knee in the crash, which happened after completing the Hemburg Hill Climb.

Jeremy Clarkson tweeted that it was the "most frightening" accident he had ever seen but said Mr Hammond was "mostly OK".

It was reported that he wasn't seriously injured and was able to pull himself out from the car before it went up in flames.

I seem to remember a couple of seasons ago on the old Top Gear there was a supercar that every time they put it onto the track it set itself alight, the name escapes me but I remember that it was built by one of the Scandinavian countries.

Looks like a driving error from the videos posted.

Too fast for a curve to the left.

Was that the car that tried to cook Jason Plato?


edit - it wasn't, it was a Caparo T1

Hammond proving, yet again, that driving racing cars isn't as easy as it looks.

Driver error. Glad he's OK.
