[sarahbee]

I hope he makes a speedy recovery and my thoughts are with his family.

I bet health & safety will be all over Top Gear at the moment.

Richard ( I haven't had my teeth whitened) Hammond is a sound bloke and the Top Gear team wouldn't be a team without him.

Everything will be OK - Best wishes to his family!

[Alan-G]

Latest I've heard is that he is ' stable ' and at the crash scene he was drifting in and out of conciousness and complaining of a lower back pain.

I think he'll be OK.

Hopefully.

I hope he is o.k. and makes a speedy recovery.

From an health and safety point of view, questions are being asked why he was actually allowed in the driving seat, trying to break the "land speed record".

It does raise some eyebrows, after all he is a "TV Presenter"

Either way, i of course wish him all the best ...very nice chap

Glady he is showing some improvement

There was a suggestion on pistonhead, reference making a donation to the Yorkshire Air Ambulance, which airlifted him to hospital?
