Jeremy Clarkson has since written about the situation for Drive Tribe, saying “I genuinely thought he was dead.”
The 48-year-old was filming scenes for the second season of The Grand Tour in Switzerland when the incident occurred, leaving the vehicle in flames.
Over the weekend, Richard Hammond was involved in a serious driving incident, ending with the former Top Gear presenter in hospital with a fractured knee.
Standing above the scene, Clarkson soon realised the car that had crashed was Hammond’s Rimac.
