James emphasised on Twitter to his 3.2 million followers that the incident happened a while ago. “Thank you for all your kind comments and funny jokes re my crash, but it was a while back, not that bad, and I’m perfectly OK,” he said.He then added: “Apologies to Evo fans for binning the VIII. #Bell**d.”Alongside his Grand Tour co-stars James and the gang reportedly took turns to race cars up and down a tunnel heading towards a rock wall.
A source reported to The Sun that the lights in the tunnel didn’t turn on until the star were already inside, meaning they had limited time to react.
They explained, after the crash occurred: “It looked extremely worrying at first. Jeremy and Richard were concerned about their mate and the paramedics swooped in quickly.“As ever on a shoot of this scale, medical staff are waiting in the wings in case – as they did here – things go horribly wrong.” The source furthered that James had sustained a blood wound on his head and injuries to his back and neck.
