Jeremy Clarkson breaks silence on Grand Tour co-star James May’s crash 'Massive accident'
Jeremy Clarkson has broken his silence on James May's "massive accident" earlier in the year.The Grand Tour hosts were filming for their Prime Video series in Norway when the accident occured, after James crashed into a wall at 75mph whilst driving on a naval base.The Clarkson's Farm star branded his co-star's crash a "massive accident".He went on to compare it with a crash Richard Hammond was in over a decade ago, which saw him in a two-week coma.Jeremy said: "You know when Hammond has an accident, he keeps going after the accident has begun."And this is what peple need to remember with accidents - you can roll down a road upside down and on fire for as long as you like, and it’s very unlikely you’ll get hurt."He added that it's more likely to be hurt when the vehicle comes to a "sudden stop", adding that it was the case with his co-star James.Jeremy continued: "Richard, when he went upside down, didn’t come to a sudden stop.That’s why he’s still here today.""I was standing right next to him when he crashed."I mean, 10 feet away. And I couldn’t believe how fast he was going," he added to the Evening Standard.Ricard Hammond also spoke about the crash, saying: "[James May's] taken the only thing I had left, which was crashing."It was a hell of an impact.
