Bern, June 11 (IANS) Former "Top Gear" host Richard Hammond was airlifted to a hospital here after being involved in a car crash while filming his new show "The Grand Tour".
The accident occurred in the town of St Gallen in north-east Switzerland during a shoot for the show, reports theguardian.com.
The 47-year-old had to be pulled out from the wreckage of a Rimac supercar worth 2 million euros that burst into flames.
An Amazon spokesperson said Hammond had been "involved in a serious crash" and had a fracture on his knee. But she said Hammond "very fortunately suffered no serious injury".
"Richard was conscious and talking and climbed out of the car himself before the vehicle burst into flames," she said.
The latest incident comes less than three months after Hammond was injured after falling off a motorbike while filming in a remote part of Mozambique.
