Pics look horrible, but he seem to be okay.

Thankfully, after being air-lifted to a hospital close to where they were filming in Switzerland for The Grand Tour, we have been told that he has suffered no serious injuries apart from a fractured knee.
He was driving up the Hemburg Hill Climb filming a clip in the much anticipated Rimac when he lost control and hit a grass verge.
The show's producer says this:
"Richard was conscious and talking, and climbed out of the car himself before the vehicle burst into flames.
"He was flown by air ambulance to hospital in St Gallen to be checked over revealing a fracture to his knee.
"Nobody else was in the car involved in the accident, and we'd like to thank the paramedics on site."

For some reason I read that as Russ Hanneman.

His odds are much higher.

The Rimac actually has butterfly doors

I wonder how much will this in any way affect Hammonds mindset going forward with the show.
He has dodged two bullets when you include the much worse Dragon car wreck and he said in the 60 minutes interview that his family was deeply shaken by it.
I wonder of he gives any thought to hanging it up and counting his money for the rest of his days.
I know he doesn't have Clarkson money, but I would assume he could easily never work another day and still leave his children millions.

Here's what the Rimac looks like before you burn it up.

Damn... glad he's ok

With a lot of the crap they do, I am surprised this is only the second major issue... Its weird, in the off season when they are shooting, I always expect to wake up and read about something going terribly wrong, especially in some of the locations they visit.
Glad he's ok and we will see much more of the three amigos... especially the shite Jeremy is going to give Richard.

Well, looks like he went over the cliff and blew up. I guess we carry on James?

quote:That was horrible driving. I hope it was a system failure of some kind because he should have been able to enter the turn better than that.
Here's a vid of the crash and an update from Hammond.

Says the professional.

I bet I've driven many more fast cars than you. Anyway, look at the clip. He just runs right into the sharp turn. He didn't even set himself up for it.
