Freddie Flintoff Says He’s Driving Again and ‘Remembers Everything’ of Top Gear Crash

The former England cricketer says PTSD symptoms persist nearly three years after the 2022 accident.

Overview

  • He told Piers Morgan he has been back behind the wheel for about four to five months after the crash.
  • He said he continues to experience PTSD with flashbacks and nightmares, though he feels more accepting of them.
  • He recalled being conscious throughout and remembering every moment as the open‑topped Morgan Super 3 flipped at Dunsfold without a helmet.
  • He described the toll on his family, saying his then two‑year‑old son initially would not go near him and praising wife Rachael’s support.
  • He has resumed cricket coaching and TV work as Top Gear remains off air, with media previously reporting a compensation settlement of about £9 million.
