This is the last update that I could find....
Thursday, September 21, 2006 (Leeds):
BBC TV presenter Richard Hammond was in serious but stable condition on Thursday following a crash in a rocket-powered dragster.
Thirty-six-year old Hammond is the presenter of the Top Gear motoring magazine show.
He was attempting to break the British land speed record yesterday at Elvington airfield, near York in northeastern England, when the vehicle veered of the track, tumbled over and plowed into the grass.
Hammond was airlifted to Leeds General Infirmary with undisclosed injuries.
"This wasn't a high performance car, this wasn't a road car, this was a rocket-powered dragster which bears absolutely no relation to the kind of cars which are the main fodder of the Top Gear programme. This was a car that clearly contained its own risks," said Michael Harvey, editor of the magazine.
"We are looking into all the factors of this accident and it would be inappropriate to comment further at this stage until we know the full situation," the BBC said in a statement.
Top Gear is broadcast on domestic television and outside Britain by BBC World. (AP)

Richard Hammond is out of intensive care and now on a general ward and is walking. Glad he has recovered from his 300mph crash.

He's out of the high dependancy unit and now on a general ward making a surprising recovery.
scarily enuf i was just reading about the Sugababes wanting to perform for him at his bedside...but wouldn't that make him want to go into a coma?

Yeah, he's recovering physically but the docs are worried how his memory will have been affected.
