Top Gear presenter Richard Hammond, 39, is reported to have been involved in a car accident while driving his £110,000 Morgan Aeromax.
'The Hamster', as he is known on the show, narrowly escaped death in 2006 when his tyre burst while he was driving a jet car at close to 300 mph for the BBC programme. He suffered brain injuries and has since had memory loss.
His most recent accident is reported to have involved four cars at a roundabout on the A40 near Gloucester.
The accident is not believed to have been serious, and no injuries have been reported.
An eyewitness told the Mail on Sunday: "Richard was at the back of the line and he received no damage to his rear end but the front was in a pretty bad way.
"Everyone got out and exchanged details and there was some good-humoured banter exchanged by the drivers after they realised it was him."
