Richard Hammond's daughter, Izzy, crashed her car at high speed during a Formula E event and she quickly issued an update on her health. Izzy Hammond was competing in the influencer-led Evo Series, which sees popular figures race in Formula E cars in a series of flying laps.

The former Top Gear host's daughter crashed into the wall as she went around Turn 13 with understeer. Fortunately, she walked away unharmed as she said on the radio "I'm fine, I'm fine" to the Lola Yamaha ABT team as medical professionals quickly rushed to the vehicle.

The Safety Car was on the scene to carry out medical checks as she emerged from the wreckage, but Hammond appears not to have suffered any serious injuries.

When asked what happened, she said that her brakes failed to stop the car and she turned into the corner as she tried to apply them.

David Coulthard, a former F1 driver who was working on commentary for the event, claimed that Hammond had "caught the back end" and went offline at the apex before she hit the barrier.

The racing influencer was only one minute into her run before she collided with the barrier on the side of the track, as Sidemen stars Vikkstar and Behzinga watched on worryingly.

The incident brought a dramatic end to what had been a promising lap in the Duels session.

Hammond was competing as part of Team Senor Frogs alongside Joshua Larkin (TheBurntChip), William Lenney (WillNe), Arthur Frederick (ArthurTV) and Ethan Payne (Behzinga).

Her father, Richard, has also been involved in several big car crashes.

He needed to be airlifted to hospital in 2017 when an accident in Switzerland and 11 years earlier, was left in a two-week coma following a near-fatal crash at 288mph crash while filming Tom Gear.

The Hammonds recently launched a podcast and reflected on their relationship together.

"I always think it must be frustrating for my mum because probably some of my happiest memories are ironically with my dad because he wasn't there that much because he was filming," Izzy admitted.

"He wasn't there a lot and that's all I really knew growing up. I mean, I'm not this is sounding like I had some awful childhood, I really didn't at all.

"I think my parents were really good at navigating because they had no idea what was going to happen.

"But they were very good at sort of drip feeding information so we'd know a bit what he was doing but not enough to worry us because most of the time they were doing stupid stuff that we really shouldn't know about."
