Sad news...

Voici une horrible nouvelle qui a touche tout le staff de Rosleague

" Richard Hammond, one of the presenters of TV's Top Gear, is in critical condition following a car crash. Mr Hammond was hurt while filming an edition of the show near Leeds. He was reportedly trying to set a new land speed record for Britain in a jet-powered Vampire car when it overturned. Mr Hammond was said to have been reaching speeds of up to 280mph as the accident happened. He was taken to Leeds General Infirmary.  Firefighter Dave Ogden, who witnessed the crash, told Sky News that the 36-year-old presenter was able to speak as he was taken out of the wreckage of the car. Inspector Mike Thompson, of North Yorkshire Police, said officers were dealing with the incident at Elvington airfield, southeast of York, where the filming was taking place. He said: "At 5.45pm this evening we received a report via the fire service of a male person trapped in what was described as an overturned jet car which had been driven on the airfield. "The male occupant has received serious injuries and has been airlifted to hospital at Leeds." James May, who co-presents the popular motor show with Hammond and Jeremy Clarkson, said he was devastated to learn his "old mate" had been injured. His agent, Annie Sweetbaum, said: "James is absolutely devastated, he's heard the news but doesn't know how bad he is. "He's really shocked, his words to me tonight were 'he's such a good mate, I'm so upset.'' "He said as soon as he's allowed, he wants to go and see Richard."

A spokeswoman for the BBC, which produces Top Gear, said: "The incident happened quite recently and the focus of our attention is on Richard at this stage." Mr Hammond, who lives near Cheltenham with his wife Amanda and their two daughters, has also presented Sky's Brainiac and shows including Time Commanders and Petrolheads. "

TV presenter Richard Hammond suffered a "significant brain injury" in a high-speed crash, but doctors are "reasonably optimistic he will make a good recovery". It is thought he had gone above 300mph when his jet powered car veered off the track. 

Richard Hammond, l'un des trois presentateur de l'emmission preferee de mon patron (et donc aussi la mienne), a perdu le control de la "voiture" qu'il pilotait pour battre le record nationnale de vitesse. Il souffre d'un important degat cerebral. Apres plusieurs jours dans un service de soins intensif, il a ete transfere recemmant dans un autre service. Ses medecins son optimistes et lui assure une totale recuperation.

Je vous raconte ca parce que c'est vraiment un truc que j'ai ressenti comme grave au sein de l'hotel. "Grave" est peut etre un peu exagere, disons tres derangeant. Apres tout ca fout en l'air la routine d'une semaine, de ne pas avoir droit a son emmission dominicale sur les voitures. Mais plus que ca c'est surtout que le "hamster" (ou Richard Hammond) fait un peu parti de la famille de Rosleague : La compagne de Mark, Mark, Michael et moi somme des inconditionnel de Top Gear.
