Richard Hammond, one of the presenters of TV's Top Gear, is reportedly in critical condition following a car crash.

Mr Hammond was hurt while filming an edition of the show and taken to Leeds General Infirmary.

He was reportedly trying to set a new land speed record for Britain in a jet-powered Vampire car when it overturned.

Mr Hammond was said to have been reaching speeds of up to 280mph as the accident happened.

Firefighter Dave Ogden, who witnessed the crash, told Sky News that the 36-year-old presenter was able to speak as he was taken out of the wreckage of the car.

Inspector Mike Thompson, of North Yorkshire Police, said officers were dealing with the incident at Elvington airfield, southeast of York, where the filming was taking place.

He said: "At 5.45pm this evening we received a report via the fire service of a male person trapped in what was described as an overturned jet car which had been driven on the airfield.

"The male occupant has received serious injuries and has been airlifted to hospital at Leeds."

A spokeswoman for the BBC, which produces Top Gear, said: "The incident happened quite recently and the focus of our attention is on Richard at this stage."

Mr Hammond, who lives near Cheltenham with his wife Amanda and their two daughters, has also presented Sky's Brainiac and shows including Time Commanders and Petrolheads.

Djö maður er búinn að horfa svo oft á hann á Sky rásunum að hann er nánast orðinn eins og fjölskyldumeðlimur.

Ég vona honum alls hins besta og að hann jafni sig.

The GTROC/Register will be sending flowers on behalf of the car club.

As I'm an emotionally driven woman...it would be wonderful if all car clubs could send Richard flowers so he knew that WE the car clubs of the UK were thinking of him and wishing him a speedy recovery!

Piston Heads have started a donation, but currently I can't find the thread.


This really would be a show of just how much WE are all thinking of him and wishing him a full recovery.

C'mon Richard!
