Former Top Gear host Richard Hammond has escaped serious injury after a serious car crash in Switzerland.
The incident took place while the TV presenter (47) was filming for the Amazon Prime show The Grand Tour.
The incident took place during the Bergrennen Hemberg, an annual mountain race held in the area of Hemberg.
It was the biggest crash I've ever seen and the most frightening but incredibly, and thankfully, Richard seems to be mostly OK.
