Following a car accident while filming for the BBC television programme “Top Gear,” former England cricketer Andrew Flintoff was taken to the hospital. On Monday, December 12, at Surrey’s Dunsfold Park Aerodrome, the 45-year-old was injured while filming with a crew.
“Freddie was injured in an accident at the Top Gear test track this morning – with crew medics attending the scene immediately,” the BBC said in a statement. “He has been taken to hospital for further treatment and we will confirm more details in due course.”
According to a report in The Sun, Flintoff wasn’t driving at a high speed while on the track, and his injuries are not life-threatening.
“All the usual health and safety measures were in place for filming too,” a source was quoted telling The Sun. “Freddie was taken to hospital by air ambulance shortly afterwards. Filming has been postponed for now and all anyone cares about is Freddie recovering.”
