A woman in her 70s whose husband was killed in a car crash remains in hospital after Jeremy Clarkson complained about the ensuing road closure.
A group of cars said to have been racing through west London crashed into the pensioners' car in the early hours of Saturday morning, killing a man in his 70s and seriously injuring his wife.
Former Top Gear host Jeremy Clarkson provoked outrage online when he went on Twitter to whinge about how long the road was closed.
Police today said that, four days on, the woman who lost her husband remains in a stable condition in hospital.
Jeremy Clarkson has been slammed on social media for being insensitive following a fatal car crash
Jeremy Clarkson has been slammed on social media after he complained about a road being closed. He tweeted: 'Dear The Police, I know it was a nasty crash in Hammersmith last night but how can it take this long to re-open the road?'
In response, several police forces invited him on a shift to see how they deal with emergencies.
One police officer added: 'Sorry you were delayed @JeremyClarkson - perhaps you'd like to come with us and personally explain to the family of the deceased that we didn't investigate the death of their loved one thoroughly because you wanted to get home? That their loss is a complete irrelevance to you?'
Three people have been arrested for dangerous driving with police saying nine vehicles had appeared to be racing before the collision.
The crash killed a man in his 70s and police said it took place after what appeared to be a street race involving nine cars
Several people also responded to Mr Clarkson and accused him of insensitivity following his tweet.
One said: 'I think you need to see the impact and result of a serious road collision to understand that what you have said is totally inappropriate.'
Another commented: 'I think a humble public apology is in order, that tweet is totally disrespectful. People lost their lives family lost loved
