The BBC says it has agreed a financial settlement with Andrew Flintoff following his Top Gear crash – reported to be worth £9m.
The former cricket star, widely known by his nickname “Freddie”, was seriously injured in the crash last December during filming for the motoring show at its test track at Dunsfold Aerodrome.
The 45-year-old was left with broken ribs and severe facial injuries, prompting the rest of the series to be cancelled and reports the show will be scrapped.
After the incident, Flintoff’s son Corey reportedly said his father was “lucky to be alive” and described it as a “pretty nasty crash”.
The former England captain’s facial injuries were still visible when he made a rare public appearance in September during an England Cricket Match.
