He was driving a car 'capable' of doing 280mph, and 'had to be removed from the wreckage' It was at an airfield in york so unlikely to have any crash barriers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BASHTHEBISHOP Posted September 20, 2006 Share Posted September 20, 2006 A North Yorkshire Ambulance Service spokesman said he was unconscious when they got to the scene but was regaining consciousness at the hospital. Hopefully this is a good sign Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Class One Posted September 20, 2006 Share Posted September 20, 2006 But on the BBC new vid, it said that some of the crew reported that he walked away, wheras N Yorks Pol said that he had received serious injuries and was trapped in the wreckage.
