Default Richard Hammond of Top Gear in a jet car crash today

Earlier today, Richard Hammond was filming a segment for Top Gear when the rocket car he was in flipped over at close to 300 MPH. More details can be found at the http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/e...re/5365676.stm

Top Gear is one of the best car shows on the air. I hope he is OK

Yeah, I just saw that on the Finalgear website. Seems like they've upgraded his condition to serious, but stable. He was conscious when they got him out of the dragster, complaining of a sore back.

Hopefully he won't have any complications.

Prayers sent out for a quick recovery.

Have a good one,
Mike
