“It was the biggest crash I’ve ever seen,” claimed Jeremy Clarkson of his “Grand Tour” cohost Richard Hammond’s car accident Saturday morning.


Former “Top Gear” host Hammond was filming for Season 2 of his Amazon Prime series in Switzerland when his electric Rimac Concept One car began rolling after completing the Hemberg Hill climb. Despite the severity of the crash, no serious injuries are being reported.


“Richard was conscious and talking, and climbed out of the car himself before the vehicle burst into flames,” said a spokesperson for “The Grand Tour.” “He was flown by Air Ambulance to hospital in St. Gallen to be checked over revealing a fracture to his knee.”

Sooner or later, his luck is going to run out..

I think this is the second bad crash he's been in.  I think the first one he was more seriously injured in.

He wrecked a dragster in 2006 and suffered a brain injury.

In reality I think he should call it quits..  I don't know how much longer his luck will last.  I won't be surprise if next season is the last season of The Grand Tour.

Or at least tone it down a bit.

Captain slow did one of the most dangerous things I've seen when he ran that Veyron up to nearly 265 mph. At those speeds they said the tires would only last a few minutes and if something had happened the car would disintegrate like a bomb.

That too. In reality they can't do the same stunts they did on Top Gear 10 years ago..

Ouch...

Pretty obvious that it was his fault from the video...

Glad he appears to be mostly okay. I guess that's why he gets paid the BIG bucks taking risks like that...
