Richard Hammond seriously ill following a car crash (not a wind up)
Just been on the radio that the Hamster is seriously ill following a crash after he was attempting to break a speed record.
I'm going off to see if I can find anymore.
Hopefully he'll get well soon

I've always liked Richard on Topgear, he's a great presenter. I wish him well and hope he recovers soon.
EDIT: Just heard he walked away from crash and walked to the air ambulance. However things might have got worse for him after that. Details still sketchy.
