Top Gear Presenter “Voiced Concerns About Safety On Same Day As Horror Crash”
deadline.comTop Gear presenter Freddie Flintoff voiced his concerns about safety during filming on the same day as he was injured in a 130mph crash, The Sun newspaper reports.
Former England cricketer Flintoff was badly injured in December 2022 when his open-topped Morgan Super 3 car crashed while filming a segment for the longrunning BBC car show.
The Sun quotes an insider reporting: “Freddie voiced his worries about the safety of the stunt on set on the day of the accident. “He questioned whether or not it was OK, given the vehicle and conditions on the track. “He was apprehensive before he got behind the wheel and production staff at the track were aware of this.” Filming was suspended on the 34th series of the show following the accident, and Flintoff has only recently been seen in public, with his facial injuries still visible.
He also broke several ribs. The future of the show, which has been running for more than 40 years, remains uncertain while a health and safety review of the series continues.
