The 47-year-old, who sustained brain injuries after a 288mph rocket car accident in 2006, is being treated in hospital after flipping a $1million electric supercar which then burst into flames as he filmed his new Amazon show The Grand Tour.
But he has miraculously escaped the fireball horror with little more than a fractured knee and was 'conscious and talking' after freeing himself from the vehicle.
Pictures from the scene showed the Rimac Concept One car in flames alongside a road in St. Gallen before the blaze was extinguished by firefighters.
Grand Tour producer Amazon later released images showing the burnt-out wreckage of the car laying upside down on a hill.
