Richard Hammond seriously hurt in crash

Top Gear presenter Richard Hammond remains seriously ill in hospital after a crash in a jet-powered car while filming for the BBC programme.

The 36-year-old was taken by air ambulance to Leeds General Infirmary's neurological unit on Wednesday.

A hospital spokesman said: "He has seen some improvement overnight, but remains in a serious but stable condition."

Mr Hammond had been in dragster-style car capable of reaching speeds of about 300mph at Elvington airfield near York.

Apparently this was the car he was driving.

Very best wishes to him.
