Overview

• Flintoff writes that he shut his eyes and raised his left arm, reasoning as a right‑hander he could sacrifice it to avoid breaking his neck.
• He says the Morgan Super 3 rolled and dragged him about 50 metres, leaving life‑changing facial injuries that required reconstruction as well as broken ribs.
• He describes a continuing recovery and says half his face has changed, while adding that he feels fortunate to be alive.
• He has previously accused TV producers of escalating stunts and said he felt treated like a piece of meat, with the BBC later scrapping Top Gear’s series 34 after his accident.
• He credits returning to cricket and coaching, including a first on‑camera appearance in January 2024 and renewed Field of Dreams work, with aiding his rehabilitation.
