The last ‘serious crash’ wasn’t that serious at all and he walked away without even a scratch. He said himself the papers made it out to be far worse than it actually was.
I said the same thing to my husband. I said that usually the air ambulance is only scrambled when there’s a) no road access (which obviously wouldn’t be the case here) or b) when it’s really serious.
I am an absolutely massive fan of Freddie. I’ve been lucky enough to meet him twice, including once when I was in the audience for Top Gear for my birthday. I knew it would happen sometime, I just didn’t expect it to be now. He’s walked away from two nasty crashes on TG totally unharmed but something told me on the third time he wouldn’t be so lucky. It sounds daft but I’m absolutely devastated. Normally I would be really upset but I’m just stunned and numb, I can’t even get upset.
I used to work for Air Ambulance, and they’re like little mini hospitals, so they’re often sent so they can start treatment straight away, rather than wait for a ‘regular’ ambulance. It doesn’t necessarily mean it’s a ‘serious’, it could genuinely be something like the person having lost a lot of blood, meaning they need a transfusion quickly.
