BBC's 'Top Gear' on Indefinite Hiatus Following Host's Serious Accident

Andrew 'Freddie' Flintoff's 'Life-Altering' Injuries Lead to £9 Million Settlement, New Projects in Development with Co-Hosts

Top Gear, the BBC's long-running car show, has been put on an indefinite hiatus following a high-speed accident involving host Andrew 'Freddie' Flintoff during filming last year.
Flintoff suffered 'life-altering' injuries in the crash, leading to a settlement with the BBC worth around £9 million ($11.3 million).
The decision to halt the show was made after a BBC health and safety investigation, the results of which will not be published.
Despite the hiatus, the BBC remains committed to Flintoff and his co-hosts, Paddy McGuinness and Chris Harris, and is developing new projects with them.
Top Gear, which debuted in 1977, is one of the BBC's most widely watched shows worldwide, and its hiatus will not affect other Top Gear activities including international formats, digital, magazines, and licensing.
