Top Gear presenter Richard Hammond has suffered a "significant brain injury" after crashing a jet-powered car at speeds of up to 300mph during filming.

Doctors at Leeds General Infirmary said they were "reasonably optimistic" the 36-year-old would make a good recovery.

Shame, reasonably optimistic, is a good thing.
Unfortunately I really don't like the use of the word 'good'.
Is it not normally full, or excellent for when things turn out ok

Yeah but it's not normal to be in a 300mph car crash so I think "good" is enough.

Fellow Top Gear presenters Jeremy Clarkson and James May visited him in hospital.

Clarkson described the moment he made Hammond smile. "I said: 'The reason you're here is because you're a crap driver'. He then smiled at me. It was an amazing moment.

"Apart from a black eye, Richard didn't look like he had a mark on him. He hasn't a broken bone in his body," Clarkson told The Sun.
