RICHARD Hammond has stunned family and friends by taking his first faltering steps — just 30 HOURS after his horror dragster accident.
The astonishing hospital scene was witnessed by The Hamster’s fellow Top Gear presenter Jeremy Clarkson.
Writing exclusively in The Sun, our columnist Jeremy revealed: “In the wee small hours Richard Hammond suddenly sat up in bed, opened his eyes and asked what had happened. ‘You’ve been in a car accident,’ I said. ‘Was I driving like a tw*t?’, he asked, before getting out of bed and walking, shakily, to the lavatory.
“Despite all the odds, it seemed we’d got our Hamster back.”
Richard, 36, made his epic walk late on Thursday night at Leeds General Infirmary.
A spokesman said last night: “His condition has definitely improved. He is stable and making good progress.”
Richard was rushed there after crashing at around 300mph in a jet-engined Vampire dragster at Elvington airfield near York while filming for Top Gear.
Wife Mindy has been by his side. But their daughters Isabella, five, and Willow, two, have been shielded from the horror and not been told.
