Flintoff was seriously injured during filming for the motoring show at its test track at Dunsfold Aerodrome last December
The BBC has reached 'an agreement' with Andrew Flintoff after he was involved in a crash while filming Top Gear, the corporation has said. The former England cricket captain, 45, appeared with facial injuries in public for the first time in September, nine months after he was taken to hospital after he was hurt while filming the BBC motoring show at its test track at Dunsfold Aerodrome last December.
The Sun reported that the settlement is worth £9 million and both Flintoff and the BBC are 'satisfied' with the agreement. A BBC Studios spokesperson said: "BBC Studios has reached an agreement with Freddie that we believe supports his continued rehabilitation, return to work and future plans.
