Oh my!

Former Top Gear presenter Richard Hammond has been airlifted to hospital after a horror crash in Switzerland.
The 47-year-old, who sustained brain injuries after a 288mph rocket car accident in 2006, is being treated in hospital after flipping a £2million electric supercar which then burst into flames as he filmed his new Amazon show The Grand Tour.
But he has miraculously escaped the fireball horror with little more than a fractured knee and was 'conscious and talking' after freeing himself from the vehicle.
Oh my!

Whelp, that certainly isn't good marketing.

Damn! Did he sustain brain injuries or was it little more than a fractured knee?

Brain injuries were a decade ago or so. Was a truly scary accident.
Apparently this fire started a few minutes after the wreck.
Batteries are nothing to frick with when on fire.

How is it the one professional driver of the three is the one that gets into bad wrecks?
Of course, this is the greatest Top Gear wreck ever.

You kidding me? This is the best kind of marketing. I guarantee they get a lot more viewers as a result of this.

Glad to see he is ok. Can't wait for them to frick with him for burning up a $2 million car.

Idk man, the fact that he flipped it and was able to walk away with a bum knee makes it look attractive as far as safety goes.

I don't think safety is their marketing plan
