UK motoring presenter James May was reportedly rushed to hospital after crashing a car into a wall at 120km when a stunt didn’t go as planned.

May, 59, is said to have cracked a rib and needed a brain scan before he was given the all-clear.

May and Grand Tour co-hosts Jeremy Clarkson and Richard Hammond had been filming a dangerous drag-style race for their Amazon Prime show when the accident happened. The accident is said to have happened at the decommissioned Olavsvern naval base near the city of Tromsø, as part of a new Grand Tour special.

A source told The Sun, “James smashed his head quite hard in the impact, and was bloodied by it.

“He was complaining about pain in his back and neck.

“He broke at least one rib and was quite shaken by it.

“He had to abandon filming and Jeremy and Richard had to leave him in hospital and carry on with the trip.”

  1. I don’t suppose that these guys will think that maybe they are getting a bit old to keep behaving like 30 year old’s. But having said that I lost interest in this car stunt circus ages ago, mostly because of Jeremy Clarkson.

    1. Yeah I was going to post the same comment basically, Clarkson is 62 , Hammond 52 and nearly died ,so yeah time to pull into the garage while the engines still firing for all of them.
