at least it was in a jet powered car, that's a pretty impressive way to put yourself in intensive care.

Console yourself with how hilarious the 999 call must have been.

Just last night I was watching the episode where his car gets hit by lightning and thought, "One of these days he's going to be killed."

Hope he's ok...
