“Freddie was injured in an accident at the Top Gear test track this morning – with crew medics attending the scene immediately,” the BBC said in a statement.
“He has been taken to hospital for further treatment and we will confirm more details in due course.”
The Sun said that Flintoff’s injuries are “not life-threatening” and that he had been “driving on the track as normal” and not travelling at excessive speeds.
“All the usual health and safety measures were in place for filming too,” a source told The Sun. “Freddie was taken to hospital by air ambulance shortly afterwards.”
“Filming has been postponed for now and all anyone cares about is Freddie recovering.”
Chris Harris and Paddy McGuiness, who co-stars alongside Flintoff in the show were also in attendance at the test track.
In September 2019, the former England cricketer experienced a scare while filming a Top Gear drag race.
At Elvington Airfield near York, he was operating a three-wheeled motorised trike when he ran out of runway; he was unharmed in the event.
Flintoff joined Top Gear as a host in 2019.
