Harrowing images have been released from the scene of Freddie Flintoff’s “horrifying” Top Gear crash. In a trailer for his new Disney+ documentary Flintoff, the star addressed the life-altering injuries he suffered after his three-wheel Morgan Super 3 car flipped and slid along the track while he was travelling at high speed.

He was in the car alongside a crew member, and suffered severe facial injuries which have left him permanently scarred, as well as several broken ribs. Filming was called off “for the foreseeable future” in light of the incident, and Freddie agreed a £9million financial settlement with the BBC.

In a trailer for his new documentary, the first pictures from the scene of the crash have been released. Taken on the Top Gear track, snaps show paramedics attending Freddie’s crumbled body next to the car, which skidded completely off the tarmac and onto the grass. A car kitted out with camera equipment had pulled up behind it.

Freddie was airlifted to hospital after the 2022 crash, and didn’t make a public appearance until September 2023. He has since shown his scars on TV, with one red mark running down the length of his nose and bisecting his lip.

In the new trailer, Freddie admitted: “I remember everything about [the crash]. It’s so vivid. This is what I’m left with.”

He explained: “I’ve lived under the radar for seven months. One of the real frustrations was the speculation – that’s why I’m doing this now. What actually happened?”

The former cricketer said: “I wouldn’t say I’m embracing them, but I’m not trying to hide my scars. It’s almost like a reset, I’m trying to find out what I am now. I’ve always seemed to be able to flick a switch, and I’ve got to find that switch again.”

His Top Gear co-presenter Chris Harris claimed he raised safety concerns with the BBC prior to the crash, telling Joe Rogan on his podcast: “What was never spoken about was that three months before the accident, I'd gone to the BBC and said, 'Unless you change something, someone's going to die on this show'.

"So I went to them, I went to the BBC and I told them of my concerns from what I'd seen - as the most experienced driver on the show by a mile. I said, 'If we carry on, at the very least we're going to have a serious injury, at the very worst we're going to have a fatality.’”

An independent review into Top Gear’s health and safety found that “while BBC Studios had complied with the required BBC policies and industry best practice in making the show, there were important learnings which would need to be rigorously applied to future Top Gear UK productions.”
