The cricket star, 41, insisted he was 'absolutely fine' after his jet trike careered off the road during a race at the Elvington Airfield near York. His co-star Chris Harris, who presents the show alongside Flintoff and Paddy McGuiness, was also at the Top Gear test track Richard was left fighting for his life after crashing the jet-powered car while going at 288 mph as he tested the vehicle at the former RAF Elvington airbase near York. Freddie reportedly careered his high speed trike off the road as he filmed the high-speed race. In September, Freddie revealed he suffered a nasty escape after a high speed crash in a jet trike during filming. When the trio decided to test out their cars on a straight 1/4 mile stretch of road Paddy's car only got a few yards before the back end of the axle came apart entirely and he was forced to abandon the car. In 2019, Flintoff was heard fearfully yelling, 'I can't stop,' as he hurtled head-first down a runway just inches off the ground in a three-wheeled cycle car. He arrived in their start point of Peru with a Pontiac Firebird which didn't have a roof amongst several other problems. Hammond was completing a seventh and final run in the car when the front-right tyre blew-out and the dragster veered off the runway, rolled over, and Hammond was left with a traumatic head injury and was in a coma for two weeks. He has been taken to hospital for further treatment and we will confirm more details in due course.' It’s a worry but he is OK.'
