Car accident:
The 45-year-old Flintoff was driving while being recorded for the show’s review portion. Former England Cricketer, Flintoff was filming while behind the wheel when the event occurred.
The accident happened once over while filming an episode of the BBC series at the Dunsfold Park Aerodrome in Surrey when it was 0 degrees outside. Freddie was taken to the hospital by air ambulance shortly afterward.
The local medical teams reportedly came to Flintoff’s assistance. Immediate, on-site medics from the facility near Cranleigh came to his aid. Chris Harris, who co-hosts Top Gear with Flintoff and Paddy McGuinness, was also present at the racetrack.
In 2009, Flintoff, having represented England in 141 limited-overs matches and 79 tests, announced his retirement from international cricket. He was a player in the Ashes series in 2005.
Flintoff’s previous accidents:
After losing control of a red Lamborghini in the Yorkshire Dales in 2020, McGuinness also avoided death. It follows the terrible crash that puts Richard Hammond in a coma during filming in September 2006.
Flintoff was heard terrified, saying, ‘I can’t stop,’ as he hurtled headfirst down a runway just inches off the ground in a three-wheeled cycle car in 2019.
In 2006, Richard Hammond lost control of a Vampire Dragster. Amazingly, Richard crashed the Vampire Dragster while traveling at 288 mph, leaving him fighting for his life. This happened while he tested the vehicle at the former RAF Elvington airbase.
Freddie disclosed in September of last year that he narrowly avoided serious injury during filming when his jet trike crashed at a high rate of speed. In the most recent episode of Top Gear, Paddy was forced to give up driving his Pontiac Firebird after the rear axle completely disintegrated.

Freddie revealed he had a tough escape following a fast-moving crash in a jet trike while filming in September. After his jet trike careered off the road during a race at the Elvington Airfield near York, the cricket legend, 41, said he was “totally OK.”
While filming the fast race, Freddie apparently careered his high-speed tricycle off the road. Freddie, who was dressed in a complete motorcycle suit and helmet for the sequences, was attended to immediately by the crew workers, but he emerged from the incident unharmed.

Who is Andrew “Freddie” Flintoff?
Having twice been named England’s cricket captain (in 2006 and 2007), Flintoff announced his retirement from international competition in 2010. Four years later, he temporarily returned to the field for Lancashire.
Following a great sporting career, he established himself as a rising star on television by participating in reality and panel programs and serving as the spokesperson for the Morrisons supermarket chain.
Prior to being voted king of the jungle in the first season of the Australian edition of I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! In 2015, he served as team captain of James Corden’s Sky shows A League Of Their Own in 2010.
He made his musical theatre debut in Kay Mellor’s Fat Friends in 2017 after participating in the BBC miniseries Love, Lies, and Records that same year. He joined Paddy McGuinness and Chris Harris as a new host of Top Gear in October 2018, just before the show’s 27th season.
