Ex-Top Gear host Richard Hammond has been airlifted to hospital after a crash while filming in Switzerland.
The 47-year-old presenter was taking part in a race in an electric car for Amazon Prime show The Grand Tour.
Mr Hammond "climbed out of the car himself before the vehicle burst into flames," the show said in a statement.
Co-host Jeremy Clarkson tweeted that it was the "most frightening" accident he had ever seen but said Mr Hammond was "mostly OK".
The show's statement said: "Richard Hammond was involved in a serious crash after completing the Hemburg Hill Climb in Switzerland in a Rimac Concept One, an electric super car built in Croatia, during filming for The Grand Tour Season 2 on Amazon Prime, but very fortunately suffered no serious injury."
