Apparently Hammond was making an attempt at the British land speed record in the Thule Vampire, a 30-foot Rolls-Royce jet-powered dragster made in Sweden capable of reaching 272 mph in six seconds en route to a theoretical top speed of 370. The crash took place at over 280 mph.
Hammond is being treated at Leeds General Infirmary. According to one of the firefighters on the scene, Hammond was speaking (and therefore presumably conscious) as he was being rescued from the overturned vehicle.
Jeremy Clarkson je napisal/-a:You can not be a true petrolhead until you have owned an Alfa, until you have experienced that roller-coaster of pain, disappointment and agony for that brief moment, when everything works.
