Richard Hammond’s daughter has ‘horror crash’ as car wrecked

​Having appeared on both BBC’s Top Gear and Prime Video’s The Grand Tour for over two decades, he is known to audiences around the globe. On the shows, he was co-hosting alongside James May as well as Oxfordshire celebrity Jeremy Clarkson, who owns both a pub and a farm locally in the Cotswolds. Mr Hammond was also in his co-star’s county last summer when he visited Woodstock for Salon Privé, which was hosted at Blenheim Palace in Woodstock. Richard Hammond.

The social media star was taking part in the Evo Series, a racing event fronted by influencers trying their hand at driving Formula E cars, when she crashed just over a minute into her lap, according to the Daily Star. The accident happened during the duels round, which pits two teams against each other in timed laps. Izzy is understood to have gone into a turn too quickly, colliding with a barrier and scattering debris across the track. Izzy Hammond.

The 25-year-old managed to get out of the wrecked car on her own and was checked over by medics. Despite the heavy damage, she was heard over team radio confirming she was unhurt. The safety car was called out while officials conducted routine assessments, and the incident thankfully ended with Izzy walking away unharmed.
