Jeremy Clarkson’s girlfriend Lisa Hogan recounts near-death plane crash.
“I Should’ve Been Killed Instantly”: Lisa Hogan Recounts Harrowing Plane Crash That Nearly Took Her Life
In a shocking revelation, Clarkson’s Farm star Lisa Hogan has opened up about a terrifying brush with death — a plane crash so violent it tore the aircraft in two. Jeremy Clarkson’s longtime partner recently shared haunting details of the incident, which could have ended her life, had she moved just one seat over.
A Quiet Post with a Shocking Backstory
Lisa, 51, stunned fans when she posted a photo of Jeremy Clarkson’s latest Sunday Times column to her Instagram Stories — but it was the second image that truly shocked followers. It showed a mangled aircraft, torn in half after crashing into a van on the side of a road.
“Jeremy’s Sunday Times column mentioned a little plane crash I had,” Lisa captioned the photo. “And here’s the picture.”
She added, almost nonchalantly:
“Amazingly the pilots, van drivers, and I survived. I took another flight the same day. And landed safely.”
Clarkson Reveals the Full Story
In his column, The Grand Tour host Jeremy Clarkson revealed that between the two of them, they’ve experienced three plane crashes. While Jeremy brushed off his incidents as “fairly minor” with “broken landing gear,” he called Lisa’s ordeal a “proper shunt.”
The crash took place in 1997, when Lisa was flying solo on a Learjet from Majorca to London. The plane overshot the runway at RAF Northolt, plowed onto the A40, and smashed into a van — the impact was so intense it split the jet in two.
“It’s amazing no one was killed,” Jeremy wrote, still in disbelief at the outcome.
“I Should Be Dead”: The Seat That Saved Her Life
Speaking to the Irish Independent, Lisa recalled a chilling moment before takeoff when the pilot urged her to change seats. She refused.
“I insisted on sitting where I was,” Lisa said. “Which was just as well because that was the area where the van came through when we crashed. I would have been killed instantly.”
Her instinct — or sheer luck — may have saved her life.
Back to Work — The Same Day
In true Lisa Hogan fashion, she didn’t let the crash hold her back. Just hours later, she boarded another flight and returned to Majorca, where she was working on Fierce Creatures alongside Monty Python legend John Cleese.
A New Chapter at Diddly Squat Farm
Today, Lisa is a beloved presence on Clarkson’s Farm, known for her wit, grace, and no-nonsense approach to farm life. From tractor rides to crop updates, she shares glimpses of life at Diddly Squat Farm with fans worldwide — but her near-death story is a powerful reminder of how fragile life can be.
Conclusion
Lisa Hogan’s story isn’t just a jaw-dropping tale of survival — it’s also a testament to resilience and intuition. As Season 5 of Clarkson’s Farm enters production, fans can expect more laughs, chaos, and maybe — just maybe — a deeper appreciation for the woman who cheated death and chose to keep living boldly.
