Just heard this on the news.
Despite his high risk job, it comes as quite a shock.
Really hope he comes out of this ok.....

This article explains a little more about the accident.

Very sad when I saw the news on this yesterday.

Todays news says hes improving so here's to a speedy recovery and hope to see those painted teeth on the new edition of Top Gear soon!
