If you havent already seen the news Richard Hammond crashed a Thule jet propelled car at speeds of approximatley 280mph yesterday whilst filming for the new series and trying to break the British Land Speed Record (currently 300.3mph).

Response teams who were first on the scene said that he was talking as he was removed from the car (probably complaining about the whiteness of his teeth). Hammond was rushed to Leeds Hospital where he is in a critical condition.

This morning he is said to be improving but both the BBC and his family are refusing to comment at this time.

BBC H&S are going through all the footage and evidence from the incident to see how an accident like this was possible.

Get well soon Hamster and I hope you are back on the Beeb as soon as you are ready.
