Jeremy Clarkson‘s girlfriend Lisa Hogan has shared a terrifying image of the plane crash she miraculously survived in 1996.
The Irish model, 51, who was 25-years-old at the time, opened up on the near-death experience as she took to Instagram on Tuesday to share a picture of the wreckage following the horror ordeal.
Lisa’s post comes after Top Gear star Jeremy, 64, shared that he and Lisa had survived ‘three crashes over the years’.
Back in 1996, the plane Lisa was flying on collided with a van on the A40 when the vessel came off the runway at RAF Northolt in London.
The plane was flying into the UK from Spain for a special film role when the accident happened.
Despite the Spanish Learjet 25 jet splitting in half, Lisa and everyone else involved luckily escaped any serious injuries.
She captioned the post: ‘Amazingly the pilots, van drivers and I survived. I took another flight the same day. And landed safely.’

Months after the crash, Lisa told the Irish Independent she was told by the pilot to switch seats – but insisted on staying where she was.
She said: ‘I insisted on sitting where I was, which was just as well because that was the area where the van came through when we crashed and I would have been killed instantly.’
Lisa’s post comes after Top Gear star Jeremy, 64, shared that he and Lisa had survived ‘three crashes over the years’ in his interview in The Sunday Times last week.
He said: ‘Whenever Lisa and I board an aeroplane, we are usually pretty confident that it will land safely because between us, we’ve walked away from three crashes over the years.
‘Both mine involved broken landing gear and were fairly minor, but hers was a proper shunt. She was the only passenger in a Learjet that careered off the end of the runway at Northolt and on to the A40, where it was hit so hard by a van that it split in two.
“It’s amazing no one was killed, and if you Google the images, you’ll see what I mean.’
The couple, who work together on Clarkson’s Diddly Squat farm, first began dating back in 2017 after being set up by friends at a Christmas party.
Back in April 2024, Lisa discussed her hopes of getting engaged to the outspoken presenter.

And the pair chatted to The Sunday Times to discuss the show coming back where the interviewer recalled that the topic of proposing was brought up while the couple were out on a walk during an old episode.
At the time Jeremy said that he had a ‘big surprise’ for her and after she asked if it was a proposal, he pretended not to hear and instead showed her a fallen willow tree bursting back into life.
After she followed up about the proposal, he said: ‘I’ll think about the proposal, OK? I’m not ready yet.’
Discussing the exchange, Lisa has now said: ‘I just thought I might surprise him.’
When asked if she had taken advantage of February 29 to do a leap year proposal, when women typically propose, she added: ‘Jeremy doesn’t think I proposed but he wasn’t wearing his hearing aids, so no-one will know.’
Jeremy has been married twice before.
He wed his first wife Alexandra James in 1989. The couple were married for six months before they split the following year in 1990.
Jeremy went on to remarry as he found love with his second wife Frances Cain.
The couple were married for more than two decades before they separated and welcomed three children together including, daughters Emily and Katya as well as son Finlo.
