Freddie Flintoff children: What happened to Freddie Flintoff Top Gear accident?

Former England captain Andrew Flintoff sent a scare to the cricketing fraternity around the world after meeting with an accident whilst shooting for an episode of Top Gear, an automobile review show by BBC, in Surrey on Monday.

The fact that Flintoff had to be airlifted to a hospital in order for him to receive speedy treatment after a car crash came across as a major source of concern for his fans in a year where several high-profile cricketing personalities have passed away due to various reasons.

Having said that, Flintoff’s injuries are “not life-threatening” according to The Sun. “All the usual health and safety measures were in place for filming too,” a source close to the development was quoted as saying by The Sun. “Freddie was taken to hospital by air ambulance shortly afterwards.”

Flintoff, who had turned 45 earlier this month, has transformed into a popular television personality since last playing representative cricket in the Big Bash League almost eight years ago. Seen less as a cricket expert since his retirement as a player unlike other former teammates, there has been no dearth to Flintoff’s appearances on other television shows since then.

On a personal front, Flintoff is married to model-turned-entrepreneur Racheal Wools. Having first met each other during a Test match at Edgbaston in 2002, the duo got married three years later in 2005.
