Top Gear star Richard Hammond has been involved in a road crash while driving his exclusive supercar, it has emerged.

The BBC presenter was reportedly involved in a four-car incident at a roundabout near Gloucester.

The star, who escaped death in 2006 when his jet car crashed at 288mph, was believed to be in his £110,000 Morgan Aeromax at the time of the latest smash.

Saturday’s accident is said to have involved a BMW 3 Series, a Volvo V40, and a Nissan Almera, as well as the Morgan. Gloucestershire police said they could not confirm or deny that Hammond, known as ‘The Hamster’, was involved.

But a spokesman said there was a “damage-only” accident involving four cars at the roundabout requiring no action from officers.\[Brian Lovett\]The presenter is believed to have been on his way home from a flying lesson nearby when the accident occurred.

A witness told the Mail on Sunday: “Richard was at the back of the line and he received no damage to his rear end but the front was in a pretty bad way.”\[Brian Lovett\]”Everyone got out and exchanged details and there was some good-humoured banter exchanged by the drivers after they realised it was him.”

The BBC said the presenter had been involved in a minor collision and was unharmed.
