I heard that a deer jumped into his path, and he swerved to avoid it

Not to mention Hammond rolled his van last series.

Pretty sure he's aware of the dangers associated with the job but we're all car guys...

I'm pretty sure he rolled the van on purpose. Seriously, with the amount of time he has in cars, you would have to know by now you don't jerk the wheel like that in something top heavy like a van.
