Richard was in Switzerland filming for The Grand Tour with co-stars Jeremy Clarkson and James May. The producer of the show told the Sunday Mirror that ""Jeremy and James both raced down to the scene of the crash as soon as it happened. When they saw the wreckage on fire they thought Richard was dead. It was really bad."
