Former England captain Andrew Flintoff is "lucky to be alive", according to his son, after he was involved in a car crash on Tuesday.

The former all-rounder, who presents the BBC television show 'Top Gear', was filming a sequence for the programme when the incident took place at Dunsfold Park Aerodrome in Surrey.

The severity of Flintoff's condition was not officially disclosed, with the ex-Lancashire player treated by medics at the scene before he was subsequently airlifted to hospital.

Subsequent reports suggested his injuries were not life-threatening, and now his son Corey has revealed further information.

"He's OK," he told the Daily Mail. "I'm not too sure what happened, but he is lucky to be alive.

"It was a pretty nasty crash. It is shocking. We are all shocked but just hope he's going to be OK."

Flintoff was previously involved in a crash in 2019 when filming the show, having joined the presenting team as part of the series' fourth-generation lineup that same year.

Between 1998 and 2009, he made 79 Test, 141 ODI and seven T20I appearances for England, and famously helped them to a first Ashes victory since 1987 during the 2005 series.
