James May’s Terrifying 70mph Crash into a Wall During The Grand Tour Filming

In a harrowing episode of The Grand Tour , James May crashed into a concrete wall at over 70mph, shocking viewers and his co-stars. The incident occurred during the filming of their latest Scandinavian adventure, highlighting the dangers of high-speed driving in challenging conditions.

Key Takeaways:

  • High-Speed Crash in Norway: While filming The Grand Tour’s special Scandinavian episode, James May lost control of his yellow Mitsubishi Lancer Evo 8 in a tunnel and crashed into a wall at more than 70mph. The 59-year-old presenter was visibly shaken and required assistance to reach an ambulance.
  • Challenging Driving Conditions: The trio, including Jeremy Clarkson and Richard Hammond, were navigating unlit tunnels at an old naval base. The pitch-black conditions, combined with the need for quick adjustments at high speeds, contributed to the accident, especially when the overhead lights flickered on as the car entered each tunnel section.
  • Co-stars’ Concern and Audience Reaction: Jeremy Clarkson and Richard Hammond were quick to respond to the accident, with Clarkson informing Hammond of the severity of the crash. Footage from the scene showed a dazed James being assisted into an ambulance, prompting a wave of support from viewers on social media.

In the latest instalment of The Grand Tour, James May, Jeremy Clarkson, and Richard Hammond ventured to a remote area in Norway for their episode titled “A Scandi Flick.” The premise involved the hosts driving at speeds exceeding 70mph through dark, unlit tunnels at an old naval base, testing their driving skills under extreme conditions.

Tragedy struck when James May, driving a yellow Mitsubishi Lancer Evo 8, lost control towards the end of the course and slammed into a rock wall. The collision was intense, with footage showing May being violently jostled inside the car upon impact. Jeremy Clarkson, realizing the severity of the crash, immediately contacted Richard Hammond, saying, “It’s a big one.”

Richard Hammond, concerned for his colleague, hurried to the crash site. There, viewers witnessed a shaken James May being carefully extracted from the vehicle and placed on a stretcher. This footage, showing May being escorted to an ambulance, sparked a flood of support on Twitter, as fans expressed their shock and well-wishes for the popular presenter.

During filming for the latest Grand Tour special, A Scandi Flick , James May crashed a Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution VIII into a cave wall. The special has now been released, including footage of the impact, which you can now watch on YouTube.

The roving special saw James May, Richard Hammond, and Jeremy Clarkson road-tripping through Scandinavia. The trio drove all-wheel-drive sedans for the rally-themed film, with May's Evo joined by Hammond's Subaru Impreza WRX STI and Clarkson's Audi RS4. Naturally, an argument was had over which car was fastest, to be settled by a contest. Each would drive their car at speed down a tunnel at the Olavsvern naval base in Norway to determine the winner.

There was just one problem—the tunnel was a dead end. It was also dark, with lights only turning on just in front of the car as it moved through the tunnel for dramatic effect. Green lights flicked on through each car's run, with red lights at the end marking the wall at the finish.

May reached 78 mph behind the wheel of the Evo but sadly braked too late to pull up in time. He instead threw the car sideways in an attempt to avoid the wall, hitting it broadside instead of head-on. The impact was serious, with May's head thrown into the car's B-pillar as various items are tossed about the cabin. May was thankfully able to exit the car under his own power and was taken to a hospital for checks. He sustained a broken rib during the accident, but was able to rejoin the journey in the following days.

The car itself took plenty of damage all along the right-hand side. The radiator was leaking, the intercooler pipes collapsed, and the oil cooler was completely bent out of shape. Amazingly, despite the damage, the car was able to be repaired to continue on with the journey.

The crash raises concerns around the safety standards on The Grand Tour set. Driving flat-out toward a wall is a bad idea on the face of it. To do so in road cars without even basic safety measures like helmets or HANS devices is madness. Having random items bounce around the cabin only added to the risk. Thankfully for May, nothing heavier than a glove hit him in the head during the accident.

Few modern workplaces would entertain such a stunt, at least without mitigating measures in place. It seems The Grand Tour production follows a more Clarksonian bent, where health and safety come second to bravado and "common sense." Of course, common sense would normally suggest one doesn't floor it towards a cave wall without a helmet on.

Watch the Evo Crash That Sent James May To the Hospital

The crash occurred in a Norwegian tunnel with the Grand Tour host driving a Mitsubishi Lancer Evo VIII.

Clarkson, May, and Richard Hammond road-tripped through Norway, Sweden, and Finland in a trio of all-wheel drive sedans, with Clarkson in an Audi RS4 and Hammond in a Subaru Impreza WRX STI. Hammond and May make fun of Clarkson for not actually bringing a true rally-bred car, so he wants to prove his car is fastest. They come upon—or it's made to seem like they came upon—a narrow tunnel road in Norway where they decide to see who's fastest. The tunnel lights up green as they pass through, with red lights towards the end where there's a wall.

May brakes way too late, and tries to turn the Evo to avoid hitting the wall, but he's carrying far too much speed. (Video of his speedometer shows he hit 78 mph before hitting the brakes.) Almost the entire right side of the car hits the wall, and in the onboard camera, you see May getting thrown around in his seat, with various items flying around the cabin.

Fortunately, May gets out of the car on his own, and a medical team checks him out before bringing him to the hospital. After being released, May is shown in a workshop fixing the Evo, and though it suffered very extensive damage, the car is made roadworthy for the rest of the trip.

In hindsight, the whole thing seems astonishingly unsafe. Yes, there was a medical team present in case of an accident, but this was a high-speed run done with absolutely no margin for error. The cars were also equipped with studded tires, which really don't work well on dry pavement, but more critically there was no safety equipment in use. Had the car been fit with a cage, a racing seat, and five-point harnesses, and had May been wearing a helmet, and a HANS device, his risk of injury would've decreased significantly. The fact that there was unsecured cargo added danger to the situation; that anything could strike him at speed. That's the sort of thing that'll get you in trouble at a track day, and makes the video a good "what not to do" primer for anyone looking to do high-speed driving.

You just don't expect to see this sort of "safety third" attitude for a production of this scale and budget.

James May Hospitalized After Hitting Wall At 75 MPH In An Evo

Captain slow suffered injuries and needed a brain scan before getting cleared..

James May Lancer Evolution VIII Crash Grand Tour Filming

The Grand Tour started filming for season 5 earlier this year. And while we're in for a treat for another set of crazy stunts from Jeremy Clarkson, James May, and Richard Hammond, it seems like there's one incident that has been under the wraps since the trio started shooting.

The UK's The Sun  said that James May was involved in a horrifying crash during one of the stunts for the upcoming season. According to the report, the trio was shooting in a decommissioned Olavsvern naval base near the city of Tromsø, Norway. The stunt was a dangerous drag-style race inside a tunnel.

The report said that the accident was due to the tunnel lights that only came on as the cars sped along, which left little time for the drivers to react. Unfortunately, "Captain Slow" braked late on his Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution VIII and "jackknifed" the rally car onto a wall at 75 miles per hour (121 kilometers per hour).

May suffered a broken rib from the accident. A source said that the Grand Tour host smashed his head hard, and was bloodied by the impact. He had to get a brain scan before getting cleared.

We did a little digging and we found out that the incident happened way back, probably in March. In a post by Grand Tour Nation , Reddit user u/Jakobkonr confirmed five months ago that he met Clarkson and Hammond while in a gas station in Norway. He added that May wasn't there because he crashed an Evo while in Tromsø.

The Trio Is No Stranger To Crashes:

Further reports state that May is fine and rejoined the casts after getting cleared from the accident. It looks like the upcoming Grand Tour season will have the former Top Gear hosts set on an Arctic Circle adventure. The trio was driving an Audi RS4, a Subaru Impreza WRX, and a Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution VIII.

Back in March, Clarkson posted on Instagram a photo of the yellow Evo and blue Impreza WRX parked on a football field as a subtle tribute to Ukraine.

We'll know more of the details once season 5 hits the screen. The release date has yet to be announced by Prime Video .

Jeremy Clarkson breaks silence over James May’s ‘massive accident’

Jeremy Clarkson has spoken out about James May 's car crash.

May, who was travelling at 75 mph when he crashed into a wall at a naval base during filming of The Grand Tour with co-hosts Clarkson, 62, and Richard Hammond , 52.

May was at the wheel during a dangerous drag-style race in Norway for their hit Prime Video when the accident happened.

He was rushed to hospital for tests, including a brain scan.

Luckily, he was only left with a broken rib.

Speaking of the incident, which is believed to have happened a few months ago,  for the first time, co-star Clarkson said: "It was a massive accident.

grand tour norway accident

"You know when Hammond [who was involved in a devastating 2006 crash that left him in a two-week coma] has an accident, he keeps going after the accident has begun.

"And this is what people need to remember with accidents - you can roll down a road upside down and on fire for as long as you like, and it’s very unlikely you’ll get hurt.

"What hurts you is coming to a sudden stop. And that’s what happened to James.

"Richard, when he went upside down, didn’t come to a sudden stop. That’s why he’s still here today."

The TV star, who will be back on screens on The Grand Tour presents: A Scandi Flick, when it launches on Prime Video on September 16, continued: "I was standing right next to him when he crashed. I mean, 10 feet away. And I couldn’t believe how fast he was going."

Speaking on Thursday, Hammond also spoke about the crash, joking that May was trying to copy him by crashing.

"He's taken the only thing I had left, which was crashing," he told The Sun.

 "It's very flattering that he would consider that level of impersonation, but I'll let him have that... He can have the crashing!"

Speaking of his recovery, he added: "It was a hell of an impact. It's pretty dramatic.

James May and Jeremy Clarkson in The Grand Tour's A Scandi Flick

Jeremy Clarkson and James May reveal all about horror crash on The Grand Tour's 'Scandi Flick'

'i was being an arse and trying to win'.

Jeremy Clarkson and James May have opened up about the latter’s horror crash into a rock face while recording a new film, dubbed “A Scandi Flick”, for Amazon show The Grand Tour.

Writing in The Sunday Times Magazine today, May and his co-star reveal all about the circumstances of the crash.

During filming in Norway, the 59-year-old journalist and broadcaster drove his Mitsubishi into the wall at 75mph.

May was rushed to hospital for treatment, where he was found to have suffered abrasions and one cracked rib — two fewer than when he was kicked by a horse while filming in Argentina, in fact.

grand tour norway accident

Clarkson told the paper that he could scarcely believe that for once it was May, who he described as “the slowest driver in the history of motoring”, rather than the series’ other co-star.

“This one was different because the person who was gingerly lifted from the wreckage by paramedics and carefully driven to hospital in the back of an ambulance was not Richard Hammond.”

Hammond has become renowned for high-speed accidents while making The Grand Tour and the trio’s previous show, Top Gear. In 2006, the Solihull-born TV presenter spent two weeks in a coma after a tyre blew on the Vampire dragster he was driving at 288mph. He almost died again when he drove a Rimac electric hypercar off a Swiss hillside and it caught fire. Subsequent surgery involved receiving a prosthetic knee.

May’s crash occurred during the filming of a segment of A Scandi Flick that involved the three amigos attempting to reach the highest speed in a tunnel at a disused submarine base, before braking in time for a wall of sheer rock at the end.

“Sixty-six per cent of us got this right,” wrote May.

He recalled the words of pioneering racer and motorcyclist Noel Pope, who once wrote that “when faced with the stark choice of either running into a pedestrian or into a wall, one should ‘be a man, and take the wall’”.

“I wasn’t being a man,” said May. “I was being an arse and trying to win. I took the wall (actually a cliff face) because, as another pioneer would have said, it was there.”

Valiantly, the film crew captured the whole thing on camera and continued filming amid the steaming wreckage of the Lancer Evo VIII even as May was loaded into an ambulance by paramedics.

Though clearly injured, he said he was more concerned with the fate of his packet of beef Hula Hoops that he had thought were lost in the crash, until someone chucked them into the back of the ambulance with him.

Another one of May’s fears was the fact that with the Evo so severely damaged, he would be the first of The Grand Tour’s presenters to ever have to take the option of the forfeit car, normally a painfully undesirable back-up in case one of their feature cars breaks down or is destroyed. In this case, the forfeit car was a 1980s Volvo 340 described by May as “dismal”.

The day after the crash, May visited the body shop to see his crashed Mitsubishi.

“The engine had moved several inches to the left, the body was twisted, there was oil and coolant everywhere, the intercooler plumbing looked like a trombone that had been through a mangle. The offside (to us) front brake calliper had cracked, and the wishbone was bent back on itself.”

He said he was particularly annoyed, not only as he hates breaking things, but because he had really fallen for the charms of the Evo all over again.

Amazingly, just a day later the Lancer was back in drivable condition after some bodywork straightening and repairs using secondhand parts.

“It worked. It drove, braked and steered as it had before. The only casualty of the crash was the interior heater. This is why I’ve always got my big yellow coat on.”

May went on to fully justify crashing the Mitsubishi into a big wall, admittedly on rather dubious grounds.

James May and Jeremy Clarkson during filming of The Grand Tour A Scandi Flick

“Here’s what I’d really like to say about all this. We were driving roadgoing rally cars and rally cars are crashed all the time. They are beaten back into shape in the field and then they carry on.

“The crash and revival of my car cemented its rallying credentials. I was simply conducting a far more thorough test than the other two.”

Clarkson revealed that colliding with a cliff face wasn’t the only accident May had during filming of A Scandi Flick. After rejoining his co-presenters, he crashed through ice and into a frozen lake.

“It’s strange,” Clarkson wrote. “How, when we are travelling individually or with our families, do we get from A to B without incident — but as soon as we are all together, all hell breaks loose and there are fires and smashed ribs and headlines in the Daily Mail?”

Five things to expect from The Grand Tour’s A Scandi Flick

James May, Richard Hammond and Jeremy Clarkson during filming of The Grand Tour A Scandi Flick

1. Road-going rally cars

What better way to tackle the frozen north of Norway than in an all-wheel-drive road-going version of an old rally car? There’s James’s ill-fated Evo, Richard behind the wheel of an Impreza and Jeremy in an Audi RS 4, which was never a rally car, although Jezza claims it’s a descendant of the Audi Quattro.

A Scandi Flick was filmed in Norway, which looks very nice. “This show is porn,” said Clarkson. “Location porn. Because, holy mother of Mary, northern Norway doesn’t half get its peaks out for the lads.”

3. James May crashing

Thanks to the brave efforts of the film crew, May’s big crash was entirely caught on camera and is included in the show.

4. James May crashing again

Not content with crashing once, May subsequently crashed though some ice into a frozen lake.

5. Ice-based hi-jinks

Once the boys got the hang of ice and studded tyres, they started to have so much fun that pretty soon they were “racing round a frozen lake while towing people on skis, one of whom had only one leg” and “careering down a red run while towing a burning shed”. You know, the usual.

When is The Grand Tour’s Scandinavia trip released on Amazon Prime Video?

The Grand Tour’s A Scandi Flick is available to view on Amazon Prime Video from Friday, September 17.

Jeremy Clarkson has opened up about the “alarming” car accident that occurred while filming the latest episode of The Grand Tour .

It was reported earlier this year that James May , who stars in the Prime Video motoring series alongside Clarkson and Richard Hammond , had been “rushed to hospital” after crashing his car in Norway .

The trio were in the country to film segments for their latest one-off special, The Ground Tour: A Scandi Flick .

In an essay for The Sunday Times , Clarkson discussed the crash in detail.

“In the latest episode of The Grand Tour there’s a big and alarming crash,” he wrote.

  • Ricky Gervais appears to respond after Stewart Lee trashes After Life

“There’s always a big and alarming crash in The Grand Tour of course, but this one was different because the person who was gingerly lifted from the wreckage by paramedics and carefully driven to hospital in the back of an ambulance was not Richard Hammond. It was the slowest driver in the history of motoring – James May.”

Clarkson revealed that May had suffered “only a broken rib”, and was able to join up with himself and Hammond “a couple of days later”, after the pair had continued to travel across northern Scandinavia in his absence.

“Having expressed his displeasure at being left in the field, so to speak, he crashed again,” Clarkson said. “This time not into a cliff face but through the ice and into a frozen lake.”

“It’s strange, and it’s something the three of us talk about quite a lot. How, when we are travelling individually or with our families, do we get from A to B without incident – but as soon as we are all together, all hell breaks loose and there are fires and smashed ribs and headlines in the Daily Mail ?”

The Grand Tour: A Scandi Flick is released on Prime Video on Friday 16 September.

James May has spoken out about a recent car crash he was in, insisting he is “perfectly OK” after the smash.

On Saturday, it was reported the Grand Tour host had been taken to hospital after a high-speed crash.

According to The Sun , James was filming a challenge for the Amazon Prime Video show with co-stars Jeremy Clarkson and Richard Hammond that saw them driving along a tunnel towards a rock wall at a Norwegian naval base.

James was claimed to be driving at 75 miles per hour when he jackknifed into a wall after he allegedly put his brakes on later than required.

The paper reported he was given a brain scan and suffered a broken rib after being taken to hospital.

James has since addressed the incident on Twitter, revealing it happened a while ago and was “not that bad”.

Thank you for all your kind comments and funny jokes re my crash, but it was a while back, not that bad, and I’m perfectly OK. Apologies to Evo fans for binning the VIII. #Bellend — James May (@MrJamesMay) August 13, 2022

He tweeted: “Thank you for all your kind comments and funny jokes re my crash, but it was a while back, not that bad, and I’m perfectly OK.

“Apologies to Evo fans for binning the VIII. #Bellend.”

He also told one follower he’d “made a cock-up and destroyed” the car in the accident.

After leaving the BBC’s Top Gear in 2015, Clarkson, Hammond and May have hosted three regular series of The Grand Tour, as well as a host of feature-length specials.

A fifth special has reportedly already completed filming, with a sixth currently in the works.

The Grand Tour is available to stream on Amazon Prime Video.

One of their first big challenges is to drive down an unlit tunnel at an old naval base and stop before smashing into the rock wall at the end.

Jeremy, 62, goes first and manages to complete the challenge unscathed, however the same cannot be said for James who goes next.

The 59-year-old reached 75mph before braking too late and smashing sideways into the wall in his yellow Mitsubishi Lancer Evo 8.

Jeremy immediately realised how bad it was and radioed to Richard: "It's a big one."
