The aftermath of Freddie Flintoff's life-changing crash will be shown in a new documentary film airing later this month, it has been confirmed. Disney+ has announced that a new 90-minute documentary entitled Flintoff will hit screens on April 25 and show the former England cricket star's life after the horror incident, including his recovery and his return to cricket and TV. "Cricket’s always been a massive part of my life, shaping who I am," said Flintoff as the release date for the film was revealed. "Looking back on the highs and the lows, including the challenges I’ve faced since my accident, has been a real reminder of why my career in the sport has meant so much." It comes over two years since the now-47-year-old was seriously injured in a car accident while filming for BBC show Top Gear in December 2022. The cricket legend was a presenter on the show and had been driving an open-topped three wheel car around the show's test track at around 130mph as part of an episode segment. However, disaster then struck as the car - now travelling at around 22mph - flipped over in the icy conditions. With reportedly no helmet on and no airbag in his car, Flintoff's face was dragged along the tarmac, leaving him with a series of horrific facial scars and several broken ribs. MailOnline later reported that he was "left in agony" for 45 minutes before being rushed to hospital, where he reportedly spent four hours on the operating table as surgeons battled to repair the damage to his face. Meanwhile, his wife of 20 years, Rachael, had rushed from their home in Atrincham to the hospital in Surrey where he was being treated and was even told to "expect the worst" by a surgeon. While the presenter survived, he faced a long recovery period having been left with large scars across his face. Aside from his physical injuries, Flintoff also faced a series of mental health struggles including anxiety, nightmares and flashbacks to the horror crash. The ordeal immediately began to take its toll on the former cricketer, who admitted he was "struggling already" in the days following his accident and that he "needed help". In self-shot footage in hospital, Flintoff confessed he felt like he "genuinely should not be here after what happened," before adding: "This is going to be a long road back and I have only just started and I am struggling already. "I need help. I really am not the best at asking for it. I need to stop crying every two minutes." Months later, things hadn't got any easier for the Preston-born star, who admitted his recovery had been "a lot harder" than he had anticipated and questioned whether he would ever feel "100%" again. "I thought I could just shake it off, I want to shake it off and say 'here I am, I am alright' but it has not been the case, it has been a lot harder than I thought," he said. "I am struggling with my anxiety, I have nightmares, I have flashbacks, it has been so hard to cope with. "I don't know what completely better is. I am what I am now, I am different to what I was. That is something I will probably have to deal with for the rest of my life. Better? No. Different." However, after quitting his role on the now-shelved Top Gear and reaching a reported £9 million settlement with the BBC, Flintoff has bounced back by making a remarkable return to both cricket and presenting. In September, it was confimed that he had been appointed as head coach of England Lions for the next year, while he has also had coaching stints with England's limited-overs squads and the Northern Superchargers in The Hundred. He also made his TV comeback in December as the host of the Bullseye Christmas special and, after impressing viewers, will now front a full series of the rebooted darts show.
