Aus 'Top Gear' host in high-speed crash
Australian Top Gear host Steve Pizzati has been involved in a dramatic car accident while filming for the series.

The presenter of the motoring show, who was a guest driver in the Aussie Racing Cars super series, flipped his car on the last circuit of the race.

Pizzati told the Courier Mail: "On the last lap the two guys in front of me banged wheels and hit me. I've got caught up in it and it's caused me to flip - I guess you would say two and a half times, because the car's ended up on its roof."

The former race car driver added that he walked away with only a "humdinger of a headache and a sore neck".

The accident happened on the same day that Top Gear UK presenter Richard Hammond was involved in an accident involving a £110,000 Morgan AeroMax.
