[IDAFC21]

Good lord that car. Thankfully he was not seriously injured and made it out BEFORE it burst into flames. That could've really not gone well.

The 47-year-old was on a practice run for a race in an electric car for Amazon Prime show The Grand Tour.
Mr Hammond "climbed out of the car himself before the vehicle burst into flames," the show said in a statement.
Co-host Jeremy Clarkson tweeted that it was the "most frightening" accident he had ever seen but said Mr Hammond was "mostly OK".
The show's statement said: "Richard Hammond was involved in a serious crash after completing the Hemburg Hill Climb in Switzerland in a Rimac Concept One, an electric super car built in Croatia, during filming for The Grand Tour Season 2 on Amazon Prime, but very fortunately suffered no serious injury."
Mr Hammond, who has a fractured knee, was "conscious and talking" after the crash, the show said.

He wasn't in it when it went up in flames.

So he crawled out before that. The car actually looks to be in fairly sound shape from the accident.

Practice? Are we talking about practice?

Crash looks nasty even before the burning part.

Dude seems to have some bad luck.

 

[Marko]

The media is trying to make it look worse than it is


I hope he's ok though

 

[Flyn]

Can't be fun to realize you're upside down in a supercar.

 

[P40E]

Time frame between crash and spontaneous combustion ?

 

[Spivitz]

Yikes, glad he is OK

 

[boostedguy05]

Glad he is okay. That is going to make one hell of an episode!

I'm sure much of that is the production company's doing. It's in their best interest for this to be a huge thing as well.

Yeah, media made it sound like he was worse off than he was when he crashed the dragster. I fuckin' hate the media so much.

 

[Jokerzl]

Aweosme he is ok

 

[FirstWorldProblems]

I saw the video of the car leading right up to the crash. He must not have known there was a sharp turn coming up, came in WAY too hot. No car could have made that turn at the speed he entered at. Makes you wonder if he just forgot the layout or if the throttle got stuck

 

[GLIGTO]

Lol geez, the Hamster needs to stop crashing shit or his wife will make him stop driving altogether!

 

[Thirdgen89GTA]

Amazon is going to do a spin off of Grand Tour with Richard Hammond titled, "Will it crash?"

 

[boostedguy05]

If he is the driver, the answer will always be YES

You've got to love these guys. They are so supportive of each other.

Can you imagine the ruckus these 3 would have caused if they all went to College together?

 

[IDAFC21]

Could you.... Describe the ruckus?

 

[Thirdgen89GTA]

Could you.... Describe the ruckus?

Would probably end up being something out of Animal House.
