Top Gear presenter Richard Hammond was driving a jet-powered dragster while filming for Top Gear at Elvington airfield in York last September when it went disastrously wrong.

The 36-year-old was driving at 288mph when a tyre burst. The dragster then skidded and flipped over. Hammond had to be cut free from the wreckage.

The father-of-two was rushed to Leeds General Infirmary, where he was treated for a brain injury. Meanwhile, experts were called in to survey the crash scene.

Doctors had originally feared for Hammond’s life, but just a week after the accident he was already showing remarkable signs of recovery. He was soon moved to a Bristol hospital to be nearer home.
