FREDDIE FLINTOFF AIRLIFTED TO HOSPITAL IN TOP GEAR SMASH

Andrew "Freddie" Flintoff has reportedly been airlifted to hospital after being involved in a 'terrifying' crash while filming an episode of the BBC show Top Gear.

The 45-year old former England cricketer was shooting an episode for the hit BBC series at Dunsfold Park Aerodrome.

Freddie was filming while driving the car when the accident happened, however his injuries are not said to be life threatening.

His co-star Chris Harris - who presents the show alongside the former cricketer and Paddy McGuiness - was also at the Top Gear test track.


Sources say that Freddie was taken to hospital immediately by air ambulance.

A BBC spokesperson said:



The Top Gear set has been fraught with accidents, with previous host Richard Hammond being left in a coma after his horror smash on set.
