The former Top Gear presenter Richard Hammond has been airlifted to hospital in Switzerland after being involved in a car crash while in Switzerland filming his new Amazon show.
The accident occurred in the town of St Gallen in north-east Switzerland during a shoot for The Grand Tour. The 47-year-old had to be pulled from the wreckage of a Rimac supercar worth £2m that later burst into flames.
An Amazon spokeswoman said that Hammond had been “involved in a serious crash” and had a fracture to his knee. But she said Hammond “very fortunately suffered no serious injury”.
“Richard was conscious and talking, and climbed out of the car himself before the vehicle burst into flames,” she said.
