Top Gear presenter Richard Hammond has been critically injured in an accident while filming an edition of the programme.

Hammond, 36, was unconscious at the scene but was reported to be regaining consciousness when he arrived at hospital.

He was taken to Leeds General Infirmary following the incident at an airfield near York.

The presenter was attempting a land-speed record in a jet-powered car when the accident happened.

A BBC spokeswoman said: "The incident happened quite recently and the focus of our attention is on Richard at this stage.

"We will make further details known as soon as they are available."

Inspector Mike Thompson, of North Yorkshire Police, said officers dealt with an incident at the airfield north-east of York.

He said: "At 5.45pm this evening we received a report via the fire service of a male person trapped in what was described as an overturned jet car which had been driven on the airfield.

"The male occupant has received serious injuries and has been airlifted to hospital at Leeds."

No further details were available at this time.

No it's not appropriate. The driving god is injured and you're worried about someone's sig.

PotenzaSub · 09-21-2006, 02:54 AM

BBC said he was in the neurological unit of his hospital and was drifting in and out of consciousness immediately after the crash. I hope he doesn't have any permanent brain damage.

9 Ball · 09-21-2006, 04:00 AM

Hope he's alright. That would really be unfortunate if the news gets worse.

Raven18940 · 09-21-2006, 06:47 AM

Well he supposed to have improved during the night. Now if only they'll still meet their october 5 air date, but I doubt that.
