Top Gear presenter and former cricketer Andrew Flintoff’s son Corey has broken his silence following his father’s horrific high-speed smash while filming an episode for the hit motoring series.
Flintoff was airlifted to hospital on Tuesday after a horrific accident while filming an episode for the BBC series at Dunsfold Park Aerodrome.
The Top Gear star’s 16-year-old son Corey says his father is ‘lucky to be alive’ after the horrific crash.
He told MailOnline: “He’s fine. I’m not quite sure what happened but he’s lucky to be alive. It was a very bad accident. It’s shocking. We’re all shocked. But just hope he gets better.”
Freddie was reportedly injured when he spoke to BBC cameras about his opinion of the car for the show’s review segment, however sources have claimed his injuries were ‘not life-threatening’.
His co-star Chris Harris – who presents the show alongside former cricketer and Paddy McGuinness – was also on the Top Gear test track.
