TOP GEARS RICHARD HAMMOND IS CRITICAL IN LEEDS HOSPITAL apperently he was filming and driving at 280mph when hes car overturned..

hope he pulls through i for one enjoy watching him on tv
 
I think he is fantastic...they have also said that before the accident he HAD broke the land speed record. But I suppose when you are going at such mega speeds no one can be sure how the car is definitely going to drive and unfortunately it overturned trapping him underneath (as the car had no roof I dread to think of the injuries). :(

Hope to wake up tomorrow to hear he is much improved and no longer in a critical condition.

thoughts with him and his family!!
 
news this morn says he is in the neurological dept at the hospital in leeds but thats to be expected when you crash a car at 280mph with no roof on it but the main thing is that he is now stable and not critical as he was last night.
 
latest news says he is stable but has serious brain injuries but doctors are hopeful of recovery so fingers crossed
 
I really hope he gets well soon! I must admit I am very envious of him as he has the job that most men would love! I enjoy him on top gear and on all the other shows he has done, he's a likable person and I really feel for him and his family right now! Someone has set up a charity page for the yorkshire air ambulance who got him to hospital so quick, even the bbc are encouraging people to donate to this... the website is http://www.justgiving.com/PHRichardHammond - it makes you realise how the air ambulances are important, yet they don't get proper funding and have to fundraise just to stay in the air!
 
just read up on it on teh bbc website and am totaly disgusted that the moaning minies are already using his accident as an excuse to call for an end to the show and have top gear axed

ime sure his family are realy concerned with their opinions . NOT !!

ime not too sure how i feel about the fireman jumping infront of anyone with a camera and a microphone to tell everyone the details of hammond either ,in my opinion he shoud have done his job and gone on to teh next job not spend all day infront of TV cameras spilling the details all over the radio and TV of how hammond looked etc

anyway i hope he recovers as fast as he was driving :)
 
I have arranged a couple of fundraising events for the northwest air ambulance at blackpool airport in the past, and agree Roy these guys are just as important as our road ambulances , They dont get the funding they deserve and have to rely on people like myself and many others who will raise funds on thier behalf , they do an excellent job and i for one feel lucky that we have one in our region .
 
Its good to hear he is out of the ICU and I hope they dont can the program. Accidents happen and regardless of what precautions you take you can nevver be 100% sure nothing will go wrong.
 
well according to his co presenter james they actually had a bit of a conversation with him so it looks good
 
The convo would have been around teeth whitening. :D The show wont be the same without the three of them together on it.
