The presenter and former cricketer suffered injuries \u2013 which are not thought to be life-threatening \u2013 while filming a segment of the long-running motoring show at Dunsfold Park Aerodrome in Surrey on Tuesday (13th December 2022).<\/p>
As reported by The Guardian<\/a>, a BBC spokesperson said: \u201cFreddie was injured in an accident at the Top Gear test track this morning \u2013 with crew medics attending the scene immediately<\/p>\n \u201cHe has been taken to hospital for further treatment and we will confirm more details in due course.\u201d<\/p>\n Flintoff is not the first presenter of the show to be hospitalised due to an accident while filming. A particularly nasty crash in 2006 saw former host Richard Hammond suffer life-threatening injuries and enter a coma, while Flintoff himself crashed when he lost control of a motorised trike during filming on a 2019 episode.<\/p>\n Flintoff has been presenting the show alongside Paddy McGuinness and Chris Harris since 2019, and the series has enjoyed something of a resurgence with that trio at the helm \u2013 gaining its highest ratings since the days of Hammond, Jeremy Clarkson and James May.<\/p>\n The current season began airing on 30th October 2022, although there has been a gap between the last episode on 20th November and the upcoming season finale on Sunday 18th December.<\/p>\n All previous seasons of Top Gear are available to stream on BBC iPlayer<\/a>. <\/strong>Check out more of our\u00a0Entertainment<\/a>\u00a0coverage or visit our\u00a0TV Guide<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0Streaming Guide<\/a>\u00a0for more to watch.<\/strong><\/p>\n The Christmas double issue of Radio Times magazine is on sale now<\/b><\/span> \u2013\u00a0<\/b>subscribe now<\/b><\/span><\/a>.
