Andrew Flintoff pictured for first time since horrific Top Gear crash
manchestereveningnews.co.ukAndrew Flintoff has been pictured for the first time since his horrific crash while shooting Top Gear. The former Lancashire all-rounder and England captain was hospitalised last December after the incident at an airfield in Surrey.
He has kept a low profile in the months since as he recovers from facial injuries and broken ribs he sustained while driving an open-top three-wheel Morgan Super 3 at 130mph.
The 45-year-old is now understood to have quit the BBC show and made a return to cricket. He was photographed at Cardiff’s Sophia Gardens ground on Friday to watch England’s opening one-day international against New Zealand from the home team’s balcony.
Flintoff was wearing dark glasses and a hat on the outfield but had visible scars on his face and appeared to be wearing tape on his nose, the Mirror reports.
