It seems the worlds best car TV Top Gear show has a little bit of a jinx when it comes to car crashes. Today in the UK housewives BBC2 favourite Richard Hammond crashed his £110,000 Morgan Aeromax in a four car pileup. Meanwhile down under presenter Steve Pizzati of the Austrailian version of televisions Top Gear managed to flip his car in a crash whilst racing as a guest driver in the Aussie Racing Cars series.
Top Gear's Car Crash Richard Hammond
Apparently Richard Hammond was fine after crashing his Morgan Aeromax and exchanged insurance details with the other parties involved in the accident. Steve Pizzati who is a former professional race driver was also unhurt in his car crash, however it sounds much more dangerous than Hammond’s little shunt saying after the event “On the last lap the two guys in front of me banged wheels and hit me. I’ve got caught up in it and it’s caused me to flip – I guess you would say two and a half times, because the car’s ended up on its roof.” He also went on to say he had “humdinger of a headache and a sore neck” as a result of the crash.
For those who have been living without a television for the past god knows how long Richard Hammond was almost killed in 2006 when he crashed a Jetcar whilst filming a video for Top Gear on BBC2.
