Conflicting reports.  BBC film crew says he walked to Heli.  Air ambulance service says he was unconscious when they got there.  Fire services say that he was trapped in overturned car.  No more news until his wife gets to Leeds apparently.

Bad news indeed :'(  Todays paper says he was conscious for a short time after it happened but then blacked out. Apparently he received severe head injuries but is now stable.

Lets hope he makes a full recovery very soon as TG just won't be the same without him.

Could be the excuse I think TG have been looking for to finally wind the show up. Rumour was that this would be the last series anyway...

 ;D ;D

I saw it in the news paper today about Clarkson being hit hard by it, must be hard working with someone for so long and then this happening.

Stable is good, hope he makes a full recovery.

I hope they don't cancel TG, its the best thing on the box. There is not a single other program i must switch the TV on for...

I dread the day we will be left with booooooring 5th gear... :(

Yep, hope the hamster makes it.  [smiley=thumbsup.gif]

Great combination they have there with the three of them.

And to think Clarkson was initially against Richard being on team, preferring Tim Harvey (ex Touring Car driver)

Hi guys. Just got back from holiday on the bike in Portugal and saw this. Bad news to say the least, top bloke and great entertainer.

I saw Clarkeson in his Merc on the news earlier and the press were hounding him for a comment. You would have thought they would leave off but I suppose its too much to ask.
 >:(

My best wishes go out to Richard and his family.
