Default 2023 BBC TV Top Gear : Halted after Freddie Flintoff Accident

[The presenter was injured in December
at Top Gear's test track at
Dunsfold Park Aerodrome in Surrey.
The BBC said: "Under the circumstances, we feel it
would be inappropriate to resume
making series 34."
The broadcaster said a decision on how best
to continue would be made
later this year.
Following the accident on 13 December 2022
the former England cricketer received medical
care at the scene before being taken
to hospital for further treatment.]

BBC News Text :
[Top Gear presenter Andrew "Freddie" Flintoff
has agreed a £9m settlement with the BBC
after being involved in a crash while filming
the show in December, the Sun reports.
The paper says Flintoff suffered "life-altering"
injuries and that the payout is intended
to compensate him for two years' loss of earnings.
It also quotes BBC Studios saying
it had "sincerely apologised"
to Flintoff over the incident]

Yes, but this money came from BBC Studios
Commercial side of BBC Worldwide.


They did not have him protected properly,

As a result, Top Gear
has been Axed


He was a good-looking sports star
until the BBC manager of top gear
did not give him safety cords
