Freddie Flintoff's teammate opens up on the cricket star's horror smash 'A huge ordeal'
ok.co.ukAndrew 'Freddie' Flintoff has been through a “huge ordeal” following his Top Gear horror smash, a close pal has revealed. The 45 year old ex cricketer and TV star had to be airlifted to hospital after suffering severe facial injuries and breaking his ribs in the crash, which happened while he was filming for the BBC show at Dunsfold Park Aerodrome in Surrey in December last year.
Freddie was driving an open-topped three-wheel Morgan Super 3 vehicle around the track at 130mph when the smash took place. The BBC later revealed that the filming of the latest series of Top Gear had been ditched following an investigation into the crash.
