HD: Jeremy Clarkson Renault Magnum crash

A Top Gear spokeswoman said the star was "quite badly injured" in the stunt, staged, she said, to "see how difficult it was to be a truck driver". Mr Clarkson has said he emerged from the accident "in screaming agony", with bruises to his leg, back and finger, but has since made a good recovery. Viewers can watch the high-speed smash on Sunday's episode of Top Gear. In the programme, Mr Clarkson and his co-presenters Richard Hammond and James May were each given a series of tasks to complete as truck-drivers. Mr Clarkson was instructed to drive a Renault Magnum lorry through a wall at 56mph - the vehicle's maximum legal speed - at a test track near Milton Keynes. In a recent Sun newspaper column Mr Clarkson described the smash as his first serious road accident for 31 years. He said he had decided that before being allowed on the road "everyone should be made to drive at high speed into a wall". He added: "At the moment, teenagers see Bruce Willis driving his car into a helicopter and imagine that you can get out afterwards and still be well enough to punch a baddy in the face.
