Andrew Flintoff opens up on car crash ordeal and 'finding comfort' in cricket return
Andrew Flintoff has lifted the lid on the terrifying car crash that almost took his life and his subsequent return to cricket, revealing: ‘I still get flashbacks – but I’ve found comfort in the dressing room’.
Flintoff suffered a series of horrific injuries when hurt in the accident while filming for Top Gear late in 2022.
“It’s always going to be there, but in a strange way, I’ve got an acceptance of it now,” Flintoff said of the crash – which has left him physically and mentally scarred for life – in an interview with The Times. “I’m not fighting it. I still get flashbacks at night and anxiety and other stuff but I know it’s happening and I’m accepting of it. When I’m around cricket I don’t get it; I’ve found comfort in the dressing room again.
