Top Gear presenter Richard Hammond is in a critical condition in hospital after a crash in a jet-powered car while filming for the programme.

The presenter, 36, was taken by air ambulance to a Leeds hospital which has a special neurological unit.

A North Yorkshire Ambulance Service spokesman said he was unconscious when they got to the scene but was regaining consciousness at the hospital.

A BBC spokesman confirmed the presenter had been injured during a shoot.

Hope he's alright

Doesn't sound good.....

 

[ben andrews' girlfriend]

Good sign that he's regained conciousness though

 

[Barrel of Fun]

Yes, good news. The best news we can hope for at this stage.

 

[Raphael Meade]

shiit... fingers crossed for him innit, but crashing a jet powered car whilst trying to break the land speed record doesn't sound all that good......

 

[Frutos]

Shit, that doesn't sound good.

Fingers crossed he'll be alright.

I've never been a big fan of the show, I can't say I like the presenters very much, don't wish ill upon them, of course, but they've been tempting this sort of stupid, stupid fate for ages. Just wish it had been Jeremy Clarkson instead. Sorry to be unsympathetic, hope the guy recovers and all that, just think it's been coming.

 

[RM-Taylor]

Hope you get better soon Dickie.

. Just wish it had been Jeremy Clarkson instead.

No real need for that.

Get well soon to the guy.

 

[Les Biehn]

I am kind of with MoH on this one. Certainly hope he is alright but I actually find Richard Hammond even more irritating than Clarkson.

 

[Safeway]

Would have thought after the thread about the 13-year-old boy dying in the car crash the other week some people on this site might have learnt a thing or two about humility. Obviously not.

Hope the guy makes a full recovery.

 

[B.M.F]

nasty news. fingers crossed he is ok. think him and clarkson together make a very amusing pair.

 

[Gully]

I like the bloke, find him OK as a presenter, hope he has a speedy recovery.
