As if the Richard Hammond Incident was not enough, another Top Gear Driver met with a car crash in a Lamborghini Murcielago. The degree of injuries received was not as severe as the Hammond Incident but it does put the Top Gear programs relay under jeopardy.
Hammond met with a similar fate as he lost control of the car, this time though over-speeding was not an issue. The reportedly Professional Driver overturned the car on a rain-drenched runway in Dunsfold Park, Surrey.
People who witnessed this incident mentioned that the driver lost control in bad weather, which made the car spin heavily, ultimately landing on the ground and coming to a halt. Luckily, the Driver survived without any major injury as confirmed by BBC officials.Incidentally, a similar Lamborghini model crashed during the pre-production process, which raised a question about the cars reliability, back in June. Was it the Cars fault or the Drivers is another issue, the focus here should be on the risk at which these officials are pelting these cars.
No hard Feelings, but why is Top Gear so desperate to Shoot these cars hitting high velocities with so much risk involved? If at all it was a rainy day, any driver be it a professional or not , will know that Pelting a Car on High Speeds could spell Doom for him.This incident leaves copious questions unanswered!
