The former Top Gear host, 54, was left in a coma for two weeks in 2006 after the car he was driving spun out of control at York's Elvington airfield.
Richard Hammond 's daughter Izzy revealed how the presenter's 320mph horror crash when she was just 4-years old 'changed his brain'.
Speaking about how Richard's crash inspired their new father-daughter podcast, Who We Are Now, they discussed his emotional state and mental health afterwards. Izzy added: 'We spent a long time talking about his brain because we have had to keep an eye on how he's behaving and feeling. He suffered with a 'frontal lobe bleed', causing memory loss, depression and difficulties with emotional experience
He said he is still suffering the after effects of his brain injuries caused by the extreme deceleration in speed that made his brain 'slosh' forward resulting in a 'frontal lobe bleed'. Co-host Jeremy Clarkson described the accident as 'the biggest crash I’ve ever seen and the most frightening but incredibly, and thankfully, Richard seems to be mostly OK.’
