<br />In case <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2006/09/20/update-details-on-richard-hammond-crash/">Richard Hammond's spectacular jet-car crash</a> wasn't enough to convince you of the inherent dangers of filming British television's top car shows, the presenters of <em>Fifth Gear</em> have given us another startling reminder. <br /><br />Barrowman, who plays a character who cannot be killed on <em>Dr. Who</em> spin-off series <em>Torchwood</em>, was driving the &pound;120,000 rally-spec Subie with Needell riding shotgun when the actor lost control of the car, sending it over the shoulder and flipping several times down the hill before coming to a rest on the shore of a lake. Paramedics arrived at the scene and removed glass shards from Barrowman's eyes before taking both to the hospital with no major injuries.
