In a nutshell, looking at video, driving a prototype electric car during a hill run climb, flipped it and got out and flown to hospital with fractured knee
Then the electric car caught on fire. That to me is surprising initially but damaged batteries can cause fires. Intersting to think we are now more and more hyping to battery powered vehicles and hybrids, but how safe are they in a accident. Hmmm Rimac Concept One 811 kW (1,088 hp), an acceleration from 0–97 km/h (0–60 mph) in 2.8 seconds, and a price of US$980,000 https://drivetribe.com/p/JGup8QHJRvm...source=organic and https://drivetribe.com/p/IDwrYGYsSOm...TaWtonFV2JdMcA GRAND TOUR STATEMENT Richard Hammond was involved in a serious crash after completing the Hemburg Hill Climb in Switzerland in a Rimac Concept One, an electric super car built in Croatia, during filming for The Grand Tour Season 2 on Amazon Prime, but very fortunately suffered no serious injury. Richard was conscious and talking and climbed out of the car himself before the vehicle burst into flames. He was flown by Air Ambulance to hospital in St Gallen to be checked over revealing a fracture to his knee. Nobody else was in the car or involved in the accident, and we’d like to thank the paramedics on site for their swift response. The cause of the crash is unknown and is being investigated.
