The BBC has halted production on the latest series of motoring show “Top Gear” following an investigation into an accident that left co-host Andrew “Freddie” Flintoff injured
. Flintoff, who has fronted the popular show alongside Chris Harris and Paddy McGuinness since 2019, was hospitalized last December when he was hurt while filming an episode at the Dunsfold Aerodrome track in Surrey, southern England. On Thursday, the corporation released a statement saying it had “sincerely apologized” to the former England cricket captain following its probe and “will continue to support him with his recovery.
” The broadcaster added that the incident had “impacted the production team” and there will be a health and safety review on the show, which has been running for 21 years. CNN has contacted Flintoff’s representatives for comment. In February 2019, Flintoff crashed into a market stall while filming the show in Nottinghamshire but escaped unscathed.
