Jeremy Clarkson experienced "screaming agony" during a stunt in which he drove a lorry into a wall.

The Top Gear presenter staged the experiment to "see how difficult it was to be a truck driver", reports the BBC.

Clarkson has since recovered from his injuries after driving the Renault Magnum lorry through a wall at 56mph at a test track near Milton Keynes.

He told The Sun: "At the moment, teenagers see Bruce Willis driving his car into a helicopter and imagine that you can get out afterwards and still be well enough to punch a baddy in the face.

"This isn't accurate. I emerged from my high speed head-on impact in what can only be described as screaming agony. I couldn't walk. I couldn't talk. I couldn't think."

Co-presenter Richard Hammond suffered a brain injury when he was involved in a high-speed dragster crash while filming the BBC show in September 2006. The 38-year-old recently revealed that he still gets nervous behind the wheel.
